Fancybox jQuery lightboxFancyBox is a tool for displaying images, html content and multi-media in a modal window (lightbox) based on the jQuery library.

What I love about FancyBox is loading new windows in an iframe. For example one website that I built used the RPX system allowing users to log in via their favorite social networking site. Rather than just redirect users to the RPX page I had it load in a modal window so they were never taken away from my site.

$(document).ready(function(){
 $('a.iframe').fancybox({
  'frameURL': 'https://XX.rpxnow.com/openid/embed?token_url=XX',
  'frameHeight': 280,
  'hideOnContentClick': false
 });
});
