Postback from within a Facebox

[connor murphy]

I have a simple comments table in Asp.net.
I want to use Facebox for users to enter new comments

The facebox opens fine. Users can enter their name and comment text.
However, when they click submit the postback event does not fire.
I am currently trying to use an Ajax postback so that the comments
table on the parent page gets updated.

Everything works fine when I test the 'AddComments' DIV outside
facebox.

Please advise how I can get around this? Otherwise I will be forced to
abandon Facebox :(

I'm using facebox and AjaxForms() to submit the forms inside Facebox.

The only trick I'm usin is that because I got tired of fight to allow
Js code access between facebox & the main document, since then what I
use is something like:

fb = '<my html form><any html I want to show in facebox>' and then
load facebox(fb).

That way works great and works with any plugin . However, as soon you
start needing a lot of html code for your fb window you mess with the
load time of the main document.

To fix that issue what I use is getScript of jquery and place all my
fb='...' and facebox(fb) inside a js file and load it only when the
user clicks the link that needs the facebox window to be open.

Hope this give you some ideas...

Hi Guzman,

Could you post an example? What AjaxForms library are you using? Is it
the Forms plugin for Jquery?
In the code below I want btnAddComment_Click to postback to the ASPX
code behind file. This does not fire when launched withing the
Facebox :(
The postback works as normal when used outside facebox.

Thanks,
Connor
