Using jPlayer with lyrics and colorbox

[Tpresto]

Hey everyone,

I have searched for something similar to what I am looking to do and
can't find any answers. If there is a thread already about this
please direct me towards it.

Currently I have a site up at http://finishfirstmusic.com/


I have jplayer playing fine and working correctly, I even have the
"lyrics" section showing up next to each song. What I am trying to do
is when someone clicks on the lyrics it calls upon the colorbox
feature to show the lyrics for that song.

I have messed around with the coding to try and get this to work but
am having no luck. Currently I just put it back to normal (with the
exception of leaving the "lyrics" part.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tommy P.

Hi Tommy,

Can you expand upon what the colorbox feature should do?

Thanks

Hi Mark,

I am trying to do an effect like this shown here:
http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/core/example1/index.html
When you get to that page click "inline HTML"

When someone click on "lyrics" next to the song title in jPlayer I
want the colorbox to pop up with the lyrics inside of it.

Does this help?

Thanks for the quick response!

Tommy,

You probably want to call colorbox from :

$("#jplayer_playlist_item_"+i).data( "index",
i ).click( function() {
var index = $(this).data("index");
if (playItem != index) {
playListChange( index );
} else {
$("#jquery_jplayer").jPlayer("play");
}
});

and / or from the lyric link but I don't think that is a jPlayer
issue.

Also a 'return false' will stop it jumping to the top of the page or
conceivably preventDefault() (see http://fuelyourcoding.com/jquery-events-stop-misusing-return-false/)

Cheers

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your help. To be honest though I am still learning
javascript and jQuery so I am not sure how to call upon it. I have
created a new page that is strictly the jPlayer and Colorbox and I
have been trying tons of different ways out but it is all guess and
test right now. All the functions work correct on their own. I just
need to somehow get them to work together. You can view it here:

Any additional help would be appreciated.

Ok so I have made some progress. I have found another jPlayer that
does something similar, but not entirely what I want. I have updated
the page at http://www.prestodesigns.com/colorbox

What it is doing is calling to open a new window. I would think it
shouldn't be too hard to go from here but now I am stuck at this point-
lol
