Window overlay over existing window

Can window.open (Javascript) be made to load on top of the existing Window, sort of like a lightbox?

If not, can you recommend a "lightbox" that can contain a full html page with a form & form elements?

I know how to do a lightbox that is info only.

Thanks

you just need to use any lightbox you previously use but put an iframe inside

leakim971,

My existing use of a lightbox includes these components:

<div class="col-sm-7 col-xs-7" style="font-size:18px;padding-bottom:10px;"><b>Markup<a href="images/mkup2_lightbox.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="Marking up or Down a price"></b><div style="font-size:12px;">Markup Instructions</div></a></div>

The lightbox jQuery, etc. is like this:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.lightbox-0.5.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.lightbox-0.5.css" media="screen" />	
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
        $('a[@rel*=lightbox]').lightBox({overlayOpacity: 0.6}); // Select all links that contains lightbox in the attribute rel
    });
</script>

Open in new window

Do I replace the image with a php (or html) page where the content exists?

Why do I need an iframe? To specify the height, width, border, etc?

Thanks,

Richard
