RE: [Myexperiment-discuss] modal window

[Linde, A.E.]

Thanks, Jits. As it happens, I went back to scratch in creating a simple html 
page with embedded shadowbox and from that figured out what I was doing wrong: 
guess that shows it doesn't pay to work late at night (at least in my case). 
I've now got a simple box showing up with a 'hello world' message: now to 
populate it with the claim info and fire the skua post. I'll also take a look 
at the site you mentioned in case shadowbox breaks down the line. If I get 
shadowbox working otoh, I'll make the instructions available.

Cheers,
Tony.

Hi Tony,

I've also not had much luck with using existing lightbox/popup JS
libraries in our codebase.

However, recently I came across this blog post:
http://blog.madskristensen.dk/post/Custom-LightBox-JavaScript.aspx

... which explains how to write one from scratch. I haven't had the
chance to try this out myself, but it might be useful for you?

Cheers,
Jits
