Hello,

I'm just getting my first facebox going. I have created a facebox
containing a contact form. I have some javascript in the contact html
form that validates the data.

I've build a custom alert box using hidden divs in the contact html
page. I have no problem if the user enters invalid data into the
form. The alert boxes open and close fine and the facebox is
unaffected.

However, when the form is properly filled out and the validation
script returns a true value, then the facebox closes. There is no
opportunity to display the "Message sent" alert box.

Is there a way to call the parent window and have the "Message sent"
alert box appear there?

Thanks

Pass on the event object via the function in jquery ( [selector].submit(function(event){ ....)
Then use something like:
event.preventDefault();
alert('Message sent');
..further processing...
