Yeah I think you're understanding it. The action (popup the light box) needs to act upon fully loaded DOM elements, it would be like trying to roast hot dogs that were still on their way home from the store in your wife's car. I know, weird analogy, I'm weird, but you get the point. Images cannot be used or manipulated until they fully exist in the DOM. That's part of the trouble learning Ajax, it's asynchronous so stuff doesn't always happen in logical order.

To quote everyone i can remember form High School when we were caught by total surprise, 'OMG! THAT SO WORKED!'

So the problem was that I was initializing the lightbox as it was in the unload function BEFORE the images were there? I thought plugging the initialization in made it available to what was to come, but If i'm understanding what you're explaining, I needed to have the material first to be available to the effect not that the effect should be available to the material. I'm sure i'm screwing up some of this as i try to understand it. But it completely worked.

Thank you so much. I'll have to research thing (along with everything else more) but at least i'm beginning to finally make some headway in to things beyond just html. Again thank you Shivass. Thank you very much.

Hi Max

The issue is that you're loading the table images using ajax, but you're calling lightbox even before the images have been loaded in the DOM. A potential solution would be to move $('.lightbox').lightBox(); to parseExamples(). Try something like:

$(function()

{

//get jason data

showExamples("json/ori-animal.js");

$("#origami_examples a").click(showExampleCategory);

});

function parseExamples(data)

{

//pass parameters, get back data

$.each (data.examples, addExample);

// initialize lightbox after the elements have been inserted into the DOM

$('.lightbox').lightBox();

}

Cheers,

Hey everyone,

is anyone good with lightboxs? I'm working on a school project in which i have to build a table with data using json to produce a table, and image links. If you click the image, it then triggers a lightbox of the image. I've gotten everything working up to the final lightbox (which you can see here at the top of the page: http://www.maxworks.org/scc/test4/index.html). I've tested stuff individually, and in parts and everything seems to work ok. But for whatever reason, the image links inside the table (it has to be in a table, part of the assignment), when clicked send me to another page instead of triggering the light box effect. I'm not getting any errors, or if i am i'm not recognizing them as errors which would cause a problem.

Any help would be appreciated. Its probably very stupid like a colon in the wrong place or a typo. I could uses some eyes and guidance. Thanks form a newb.
