jQuery: Autoload on page refresh?

JavaScript
1

I have found this great facebook like liughtbox script on the net and it works perfect when I have a link to trigger it:

<a href=“mypage.php” rel=“facebox”>Popup Lightbox</a>

Is there anyway I can make this trigger when a page is loaded or refreshed?

I think this is the important part:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
          $('a[rel*=facebox]').facebox({
            loadingImage : 'loading.gif',
            closeImage   : closelabel.png'
          })
        })

Hope somebody can help me… Thanks in advance ;.)

After initializing facebox, you should be able to trigger the link itself by activating the click event on the link.

Perhaps with something like this:


jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $('a[rel*=facebox]')
    .facebox({
        loadingImage : 'loading.gif',
        closeImage   : 'closelabel.png'
    })
    .click();
})

But I don’t want to show the link on the page… I just want it to “popup” when the page is loaded… Shouldn’t the “link” be a part of the javascript?

I would think that the above does that without showing the link.

Do you have a test version of the page?

Sorry… Had to sleep :wink:

Here is a link to the testpage with the link…

If you do it without a link, how is someone going to show it again after they’ve clicked and the content goes away?

It is meant to be in a “if” clause in php:

if(//new mail in mailbox//){
   // show the popupbox //
}

Does this make sense?

The facebox documentation has a good section on controlling facebox programmatically, which should be of good help for you then.
