Fancybox closing when click anywhere outside of the modal instead of requiring Esc or clicking on X

[Chaya Cooper]

Fancybox seems to be acting like a lightbox, and closing when the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, instead of requiring them to press 'Esc' or click on 'X' the way a Modal does. How can I change this?

if you are using fancybox 1.3.4 then set the API option

 " hideOnOverlayClick ":  false 

if you are using fancybox 2.x then set the API option

helpers   : { 
   overlay : {closeClick: false} 
  }

bear in mind that fancybox will also close when clicking INSIDE the content IF the option (see below) is set to TRUE

v1.3.4 

"hideOnContentClick" : TRUE

v2.x 

closeClick: TRUE

Thank you!

I knew it had to be something simple ;-)

Hi I have a similar problem with fancybox iframe
I use jquery.fancybox.pack.js?v=2.1.2
I am trying to make it a modal, by setting modal: true. But the fancy box closes when the user clicks anywhere outside.

I tried using, closeClick: false and 

helpers   : { 
   overlay : {closeClick: false} 
  }

Still it doesn't work for me.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks.

if you set modal:true, there is no way you can close fancybox clicking anywhere outside the box
See http://jsfiddle.net/Wf2g2/
You must be doing something different or a js error is triggered when you open fancybox so the modal option isn't working
