JavaScript - Ajax Mysql Results With Lightbox Link?
Hello everyone, I wonder if you can help a noob.
I have an AJAX query that loads results from a mysql query into a div on my page. It all renders well with echoed results from a php query file. However I cannot get echoed links with a tag to open it up in light/slim/media box to work. Any ideas? Here is the part of the queried php that returns the results. Code: echo "<table width='100%'>"; echo "<tr><td><strong>Title</strong></td><td><strong>Location</strong></td><td><strong>Preview</strong></td></tr>"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $danum = "000000".strval($row['id']) ; echo "<tr><td width='410px;margin:5px'>".$row['title'] . "</td><td width='410px;margin:5px'>" . $row['place'] . "</td><td width='120px;margin:5px'><a href='archive/800/da".substr($danum,strlen($danum)-6,6).".jpg' rel='lightbox'><img src='archive/100/da".substr($danum,strlen($danum)-6,6).".jpg' class='lbThumb'></a></td></tr>"; } echo "</table>"; I have all of the required scripts in the head of the main page. Similar TutorialsHi all!, I'm having a few challenges trying to create a link to a "new" search from a database search results page. This maybe a better example: My goal is: To allow website visitors to searches site for i.e. "Dog Collars", the results page lists every "dog collar" and store that carries "dog collars" (in database). At that point I would like to have links (on the results page) to all brands of "dog collars" and stores that carry "dog collars". I would like to then be able to click on a "brand" (text link) of "dog collars" and then generate a new results page that lists all store and vendor information. thank you in advance! Erick p.s. this is a link to a site that has a similar featu http://69.0.211.58/~pubexpress/ami/html/index.html First off thank you in advance to whomever decides to help out. I am having an issue where I am using lightbox, however what is showing up is a text link "Request Email." I understand how to manipulate this text to say anything I want. However, I am having difficulty changing the text link to an image. Instead of the text, I want to have an image (button) stored on my server http://www.something.com/something.jpeg be the link to click on instead of the text. It seems this would be easy to accomplish, but I cant figure it out. It anybody can send me in the right direction it would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have been following a tutorial for an image gallery, i can upload images and use gd to create thumbnails that when clicked display the full sized image, but the full sized image is to big to fit in my design, i have managed to get the rel="lightbox" attached to the thumbnails as they are displayed but it wont load the full image, the loading ring just keeps going round, does anybody know how to fix this? is it even possible. BTW i am a complete beginner so please be gentle.
I have an ajax tabbed site which loads the content in the div below it. I made a drop down link so that the user could select one of 3 on one tab but this is outside of the script.js. I'm wondering if there's a way to get the target of these drop down links to open in the div below instead of a new tab? http://voiceprocess.net/script.js <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Home Improvement Survey Process</title> <link href="../../../voiceprocess.ico" rel="shortcut Icon"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../styles.css" /> <link href="../dropdown.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script> </head> <body> <div id="main" style="float:left"> <table width="991" border="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="649"><ul class="tabContainer"> <!-- The jQuery generated tabs go here --> </ul></td> <td width="75" style="padding-bottom:43px"> <div id="centeredmenu" style=" width:0px; height:0px"> <ul > <li style="padding-left:0px"><span class="sears"><a href="#')"> </a></span> <ul style="padding-top:2px"> <span class="space"></span><span class="space"></span> <li><a href="pages/sears_refacing.html" target="_self">Cabinets Refacing</a> <div> <li><a href="pages/sears_hvac.html">HVAC </a></li> <li><a href="pages/sears_windows.html"></a>New Windows </a></li> </ul> </li> </div></td> <td width="241"><a href="upsell.php" target="_blank"><img src="../u.png" alt="" width="26" height="37" border="0" style="padding-bottom:5px"/></a> <a href="../data.html" target="_blank"><img src="../s.png" alt="" width="29" height="37" border="0" style="padding-bottom:5px"/></a><img src="../../../images/logosm.png" alt="" width="158" height="42" hspace="10" /> </td> </tr> </table> <div id="tabContent"> <div id="contentHolder"> <!-- The AJAX fetched content goes here --> </div> </div> </body> </html> Code: oaktree.addItem("RC Mail", branch1, "rcmail/") //Add this item to branch2 I can open it up in the current page, but the menu is in a frame and I need to open it in a fram called "home".

everything happens within the "content" div. how do i do this without passing a url parameter though? so far i've written down: 1. click link 2. call function to empty #content div 3. load in fragment of next page into #content div 4. ??? populate fragment with database info, the row chosen by what link was clicked ??? i'm using jquery and php. so far i've figured out: Code: $('.linkClass').bind('click',callNextPage()); //step 1 function callNextPage(){ $('#content').empty(); //step 2 $('#content').load(nextPage.php #fragmentId); //step3 //step 4 ?? pass in url parameter? or store a GET variable based on which link was clicked? return false; } any ideas? Hi, I am hoping I just need to be pointed in the right direction with this. I have Page1. When Page1 body onloads it uses Ajax to call PartA Within PartA I have a message board so members can write messages which will be sent to my database in PartA[1] and immediately posted for view on to PartA[2]. As I want to have my request to the server updating regularly I want to have PartA[2] on a timed loop to refresh - I do not need the content of PartA[1] to refresh. So the order of events would look like this: Page1 | onload call | v PartA / \ V V PartA[1] PartA[2] (loads once) (constantly refreshes) What I am not sure about is that I have <body> and <head> attributes in Page1 only. I have already used my body onload to call PartA (and can't use it to call PartA[2] before PartA has loaded anyway). I do not want the user to have to click a button or do anything to call up PartA[2]. So my question is how would I get PartA[2] to automatically load within PartA? I hope I have made this clear, but if I haven't let me know and I will try again. Hello. Am I missing any coding or anything? I'm really confused and have yet to find any help. I got the instructions from http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ I would go to their forums but haven't received an approval email for over a week. Odd. Anyway, here is my link with the sample thumbnail. It opens the image in a new page. Thanks! http://creativepink.net/packaging.php can some tell me how this image gallery with lightbox is done? I am trying to figure this out and was searching, but couldn't find how this was implemented with lightbox. http://www.davirusso.com/work/ http://www.fotoderyadijital.somee.co...cekimleri.html why my gallery is too slow when i double click the image is it about lightbox script or images is too big size. can you check for me. Figured it out... admin can delete.
I've never done java script, but I need this lightbox effect and I can never figure it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Vv0QVP2CzE there's one tutorial I tryed, but for some reason, the light box never works, it always just opens in a new window. The website I got the codes from http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/#how says that if it doesn't work there must be a conflicting code, but I don't have anything that I would see that would be conflicting this. I'm just trying to get a simple effect on a tutorial website I am creating so you can click the image and it enlarges in the lightbox. Can anyone help me out here? I really would like to figure out this effect. Thanks Hi, could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong with this page? http://www.silvergatehomes.com/customhomestest.html I've tried a bunch of things and cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thanks. P.S. The reason I'm writing is because the images aren't opening. Hi, I am using Lightbox+ and overall it's very good for my needs. However it has a small problem that is causing me to loose hair, I have tried to fix it but my grasp of Javascript just isn't cutting it. If you goto http://serennz.sakura.ne.jp/toybox/lightbox/ and click on the image "Sample 2" then use the next arrow to go to "Sample 3" you have to hover off the image and then back on to get the previous and zoom icons to show again. I have been able to make the bug occur every time in both Firefox 3.6 and IE6. I am guessing the mouseover event isn't triggering correctly due to the image object moving underneath the mouse pointer but I just can't fix it. Any help, pushes in the right direction, anything. Cam. I am making a simple lightbox without using the silly plugins and I want to know how to make the lightbox resize equally when its being loaded.
