I have a Fancybox (or more accurately) a number of fancy boxes on an asp page.
My Fancybox (jquery plugin) works fine until a postback occurs on the page then it refuses to work.
Any thoughts? Anyone experienced similar behaviour?
UPDATE : Some Code..
I have a databound repeater with a fancybox on each repeating item.
They are instanciated by (outside the repeater)
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a.watchvideo").fancybox({
'overlayShow': false,
'frameWidth' : 480,
'frameHeight' : 400
});
});
The anchor tag is repeated..
href="#watchvideo_<%#Eval("VideoId")%>"
As is a div with
id="watchvideo_<%#Eval("VideoId") %>
As is a script element that instanciates the flash movies
Yes the VideoIds are being output the the page.
UPDATE : It's not a problem with the flash..
It is not a problem with the flash as i've tried it without the flash, it wont even pop a window with a simple message in.
UPDATE : I wonder if it is the updatepanel.

Reset to default 14The problem is in using $(document).ready() to bind the fancybox. This code is only executed once, when the page is originally loaded. If you want the fancybox functionality on every postback, synchronous or asynchronous, replace the $(document).ready() with pageLoad(sender, args). i.e.
function pageLoad(sender, args) {
$("a.watchvideo").fancybox({
'overlayShow': false,
'frameWidth' : 480,
'frameHeight' : 400
});
}
see this answer for more info
Could it be that the instantiating code is being inserted at a piece of code which is not run after a postback?
It was the Update panel as described
here.. Rebinding events in jQuery after Ajax update (updatepanel)
As suggested I simply replaced
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a.watchvideo").fancybox({
'overlayShow': false,
'frameWidth' : 480,
'frameHeight' : 400
});
});
with
function pageLoad(sender, args)
{
if(args.get_isPartialLoad())
{
$("a.watchvideo").fancybox({
'overlayShow': false,
'frameWidth' : 480,
'frameHeight' : 400
});
}
}
and it worked!

This might help someone else, but FancyBox appends it's code to the <body> element... which is all fine and well, but resides OUTSIDE the asp.net <form> element. My postback problems went away when I modified FancyBox to append its dom objects to the <form> element:
$('body form:first').append( ... );
I had a similar problem with a paged grid-view. The first page of the grid was launching the fancybox while the remaing did not.
I thought it could be an issue related to the UpdatePanel which refreshes only a portion of the screen.
I solved the issue replacing this:
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("a.small").fancybox();
});
</script>
with this:
<script>
function pageLoad(sender, args) {
$("a.small").fancybox();
};
</script>
