Multibox updates!

lots going on in this one!
  • onOpen / onClose optional functions have been added.
  • external urls and querystring parameters are now supported.
  • it auto detects the format (ie. jpg, flv, htm, etc) but now you can also specifiy what format the item should be. This will allow you to add querystring parameters to a jpg or flv for example.
  • a loading graphic has been added.
  • the replaying flv bugs has been fixed.
  • bugs with boxes closing and leaving residue have been fixed.
also zip files are now available for downloading for all scripts.

multibox is now at version 1.1

Hi,

good job!

Is there an easy way to make multibox work with mootools 1.2 beta?
What changes would have to be made?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Hey man... How can I have multibox open up on dom ready? all by itself?

Does this mean we'll be able to use the standard Adobe FLV players? So far, it seems we're limited to just the one you provide.

Hi,

I have problems using Safari build 1.3.2 ( running on mac os x 10.3.9). Firefox is doing pretty well. Is there a workaround or just let the user now to use another browser ;).

Sam,

great work on the multibox, my collegue diego showed me and he is now very excited to see that you have a fixed the swf issue with 1.2.1.

i on the ohter hand are trying to use the multibox to work on some ajax responces for page handeling. I am wondering if you know of a way of embeding in the page a close command (in the html of the iframe rather than using the cross in top right)

a fix or note on how to do this will be greatley apprecited.

keep up the great work mate,

Nick

Great product. I build a lot of portfolio-type pages and multibox has cut my production time considerably.

Quick question: I often have to display multibox within an iFrame. How do I adjust the .js so the content displays and centers on the parent page?

Looks like a lot of people (including me) are looking for a good example page of how to use onOpen/onClose.

Any chance on putting up one of your phatfusion page?

onClose example:

new MultiBox('mb', {descClassName: 'multiBoxDesc', onClose: location.reload});

on close the window will reload/refresh.

Hi, this multibox has solved all my problems except for one, and i know it can be done because the image is displayed as image and not as css background like some other light/multi/slim/etc boxes.

I need to be able to specify a width to scale all images down to that specific width. I will be playing around with it, but if anyone has the answer, that would be much appreciated.
