Linking an iframe to open in Lightbox

Question

Is it possible to use a link to link to an iFrame of content that opens in a lightbox or fancybox?

EG; View my Graphic Design Gallery Click Here > Lightbox displayin

Answer 1

Lightbox is designed only for images but you can use fancybox.

there are 2 ways to do it:

$.fancybox({'href':'http://www.google.com',
  'type':'iframe'
});

or:

google

jQuery(document).ready(function () {
  $("#linktogoogle").fancybox();
});

Clicking on the link will load google in an iframe. if you want it to load without clicking :

 jQuery(document).ready(function () {
   $("#linktogoogle").fancybox().click();
 });

You may also set the link visibility style to hidden.
