So i cant get thickbox to work, i want to use the iframe option so i can have a contact form in it.
This should be pretty straight forward but its simply not working

this is what my code looks like

<base href="[(site_url)]"></base>
...

<script type="text/javascript" src="java/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="java/thickbox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/thickbox.css">

<a href="test.html?keepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&height=250&width=400" title="add a caption to title attribute / or leave blank" class="thickbox">test 1</a>

nothing comes up it just goes straight to the site doesnt pop up

i have read the earlier thread and replaced all my $ with $j in thickbox.js but no cigar

Hi pocketp,

<script type="text/javascript" src="java/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="java/thickbox.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/thickbox.css">

is this the right path to those files? aren’t they maybe in something like assets/java/ ?

ajaxsearch is using the mootools library, so you need to run thickbox in jQuery’s NoConflict-mode: http://docs.jquery.com/Using_jQuery_with_Other_Libraries
