PrettyPhoto Jquery Lightbox link problems

Question

Hello,

I am using the fantastic PrettyPhoto Lightbox, a Jquery lightbox clone.

To launch a lightbox with an iframe this is the code

<a href="http://www.google.com?iframe=true&amp;width=100%&amp;height=100%" rel="prettyPhoto[iframes]" title="Google.com opened at 100%">Google.com</a>

This works great!

The problem is that I am using javascript to make some of my div's links with this code

<div onclick="http://www.google.com?iframe=true&amp;width=100%&amp;height=100%" rel="prettyPhoto[iframes]" class="menuitem">

Unfortunately this doesn't work. I suspect that this is because DIV's do not support the rel attribute. Does anyone have any ideas on how to over come this?

Thanks for your help,

Tim

Answer 1

Check out line 87 of the plugin js file (jquery.prettyPhoto.js)

$('a[rel*='+theGallery+']').each(function(i){

It is specifically looking for 'a' elements. You could look through the plugin and change a few things to make it work for your needs.

$('div[rel*='+theGallery+']').each(function(i){

I should add that I don't think rel is a valid div attribute. You may want to use a class or some other selectable attribute.
