Lightbox works for images, but not for displaying web page

Post by CONRADSTEVE »

Hi,
I am using lightbox for blowing up images and it works great.
However, i do have a link in a menu that that opens another web page. I can make it go to a popup window, but as some browsers don't allow popups (on my browser it just opens a full size window), I wanted to use Lightbox.
When I do use lightbox, nothing happens when I click on the link.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Conrad
PS: I was going to post an image, but can't see a way of doing so

If you need help then it is always best to provide a url of the page using the lightbox or give the exact settings used. You may also share you project .wbs before you do see the following

To share a screenshot simply upload to your own site and provide a url or use the following

Thanks BaconFries
Unfortunately, when I copied pages to a new project to recreate the error in a smaller project, the lighbox worked.
So all I can provide for now is a link to an image showing the settings

But I'll now try to recreate the issue on a whittled down version of my current project and will get back to you.

Now it's working on my main project!
I have no idea why.
I did close down my original project when creating the new mini-version, AND I took the dog for a walk.
Maybe one of those had an effect.

Thanks BaconFries
