In firefox, if the user clicks the below link before the page loads, it opens in a new window instead of in the thickbox dialog. Any way to prevent this?

I cannot make this happen on IE/safari

Thickbox works by setting a class “thickbox” on a link:

<a href="http://someurl.com" class="thickbox none new" title="Open">Open</a>

Then in thickbox

//on page load call tb_init
$(document).ready(function(){   
    tb_init('a.thickbox, area.thickbox, input.thickbox');//pass where to apply thickbox
    imgLoader = new Image();// preload image
    imgLoader.src = tb_pathToImage;
});

    Make sure you are loading the various script resources in the correct order. For example

    <script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="path/to/thickbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery(function($) {
        tb_init(...);
        // etc
    });
</script>

    This can be in either the <head> or preferably, just before the closing </body> tag.

    As Pointy, err, pointed out, Thickbox is no longer under active development. You might consider one of the following alternatives
