I ended up loading the content into a hidden container on the page, and then displaying that content in a Fancybox.

$('#button').on('click', function(){    
   var nzData = '/url.com?Zip=8000 #module';

     $('#foo').load(nzData, function(){
       var foo = $('#foo').html(); 
       $.fancybox(foo);
    });

});

It's not very pretty, I admit it, but it's the only way I could make it work. I talked to another developer this morning, who had resorted to the same solution in a similar problem.

Still, there must be a better solution. If anyone know, I'd love to hear it!
