Question

So I have a link on my aspx page that Im trying to trigger a separate html using lightbox. whenever I click the link the lightbox works fine but the html that is being loaded is giving me the error below. BUT if I use an aspx file instead of an html file it works BUT it shows the page twice! I’ve searched and I dont know if editing the aspnet_isapi.dll will really work. First of all I don’t even know where to find it. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Ok so I think i solved it. But not really.

I was able to make the lightbox load the correct page but it needs to be an aspx page. if i use a normal html page I get the error again…

And I used the same lines of codes btw.
So i guess i just have to make do with an aspx page.
If anybody would know why a regular html page will give the error please feel free to post an answer.

Thanks much!
