fancybox makes multiple request on iframe is used ?

[Elvis]

Hi guys,

I'm using fancybox to open an url in a iframe.

The problems is that in my apache log i can see that the url was
requested multiple times, for a single click.

A have also tested with the example from
http://fancybox.googlecode.com/files/jquery.fancybox-1.3.1.zip, by
replacing the ajax.txt with a file named ajax.php that only shows a
random number.

Here are 2 entries from my log file :

192.168.119.1 - - [12/Mar/2010:10:37:16 +0200] "GET /
prototype.com.local/web/jquery.fancybox-1.3.1/ajax.php HTTP/1.1" 200
25 "http://192.168.119.128:8080/prototype.local/web/
jquery.fancybox-1.3.1/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-
US) AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.249.89 Safari/
532.5"
192.168.119.1 - - [12/Mar/2010:10:37:16 +0200] "GET /
prototype.com.local/web/jquery.fancybox-1.3.1/ajax.php HTTP/1.1" 200
25 "http://192.168.119.128:8080/prototype.local/web/
jquery.fancybox-1.3.1/" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-
US) AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.249.89 Safari/
532.5"

Tested in Firefox / Google Chrome for browser and Apache2 /
LightHttpd, so it's not a browser thing ..

How can I prevent this from happening ?

I'm seeing this same thing happen with an .Net application. It's
causing multiple loads of the same page when displaying in an iFrame.
I've checked to make sure it wasn't because of a image missing or
anything.

The problem seems to be the generation of the iframe before it is
appended to the inner-div.

In fancybox_start() the iframe is being generated via:
$('<iframe id="fancybox-frame" name="fancybox-frame' + new
Date().getTime() + '" frameborder="0" hspace="0" scrolling="' +
selectedOpts.scrolling + '" src="' + selectedOpts.href + '"></
iframe>').appendTo(tmp);

Afterwards in fancybox_show() the contents of tmp is copied to
"inner":
inner.(....).html( tmp.contents() );

In firefox this leads to calling the url twice while e. g. in IE no
such problems occur.

We resolved this issue by generating the iframe-tag directly in the
inner.(...).html():

.html( ( ( isIframe==true ) ? '<iframe id="fancybox-frame"
name="fancybox-frame' + new Date().getTime() + '" frameborder="0"
hspace="0" scrolling="' + selectedOpts.scrolling + '" src="' +
selectedOpts.href + '"></iframe>' : tmp.contents() ) );

We added isIframe as a paremeter to fancybox_show(), it is only set in
iframe-fancybox_show()-call.

Other/better solutions?

Greetings
Martin
