<script type="text/javascript" src="path-to-file/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="path-to-file/thickbox.js"></script>

as detailed here:

Are the files in the right places?

It works in this example where I changed the files to point at the jquery site (you should not do that in real life)
testthickbox.txt
they are in the js folder in the root of the site.
ok i found the problem the file name was wrong in the js script
but now it seems to be displaing in the lower left hand corner of the screen and not in the middle of the browser window
That is a missing CSS file
on the target html page ?
or did i not download everything i needed ?
