Question

I’m using shadowbox for some html/iframe links, which effectively opens up the page in a lightbox. Everything works great – except when someone clicks before the javascript is done loading.

Now, the obvious answer is to not use links as the targets of loading the shadowbox. But this poses usability problems if javascript is disabled. Does anyone have any ideas on how else to solve the problem? I’m considering loading javascript inline that would deactivate the links until the page is done loading, although I’m not exactly sure how I’d approach that.

All ideas are welcome!

In general, I’d consider this to be a non-issue, but can’t you just call the shadowbox processor inline directly after the links?

i.e.:

.link, .link, .link
script
$(“.link”).shadowbox();
/script
