absolute positioning fancybox

[Michael Kansky]

No matter what i do, i cannot absolute position fancybox onComplete
Seems like left position is completely ingored and fabcybox wants to
be in center of the screen.
Top position is accepted by fancybox but left position is ignored.
Here's what i have:

$.fancybox({
'zoomSpeedIn': 300,
'zoomSpeedOut': 300,
'modal': modal,
'href':url,
'padding': 0,
'width': 800,
'height': 400,
'type':type,
'onComplete': function(){
$('#fancybox-wrap').css('top',top +'px');
$('#fancybox-wrap').css('left','109' +'px');
}
}
});


Is there anything i can do to instruct Fancybox not to position it in
center?

$('#fancybox-wrap').css({
'position':'absolute',
'top':'10px',
'left':'109px'
});

It ignores it.
The Fancybox script adds STYLE attribute to the fancybox-wrap that
completely overrides top and left positioning i am trying to force it
to onComplete
I am searching through the script to find where it does it and i
cannot find it.

Version 1.3.1 works fine but 1.3.2 + forces the fancybox to center
even instructed not to...

what about v1.3.4?

Nope, stops working with 1.3.2
I would be happy with 1.3.1 but it has some weird error in IE9 only
which is solved in 1.3.2 - 1.3.4 but this new issue is introduced.

try using external css declarations
wonder why it has to be onComplete

External works.
But my page opens several FancyBoxes and some positioned in center and
some to be positioned absolutely on the page.
So external CSS will position it globally and will not work for me.

I wonder what changed since 1.3.1, i would then fix it in code.

Here is the solution that worked for me.  Hope it helps someone.  In
the onComplete function, do the one of following:


// 1st way
// Stop the fancy box animation and do our own animation
$("#fancybox-wrap").stop().animate({
    'top': top + 'px',
    'left': left+ 'px'
}, 0);


// 2nd way
// Stop the fancy box animation and set the css directly
$("#fancybox-wrap").stop().css({
    'top': top + 'px',
    'left': left+ 'px'

If you are setting your own position, you may want to clear out the
default center function as well:

jQuery.fancybox.center = function() {};

Do this before calling $("myIfram").fancybox(...);
