Colorbox modal opening/closing another Colorbox modal

Question

Greetings. I have a need to have a 'child' modal opended from a colorbox modal. Form -> anchor -> opens modal ('parent') -> model has another anchor -> open modal 'child'

The problem is that when the 'child' modal closes via the

$.fn.colorbox.close()

Method this seems to close all the colorbox modal windows. I just need to close the 'child' (the second opened from the first modal), after I set a hidden on the 'parent' modal.

Any suggestions on how to close just the second colorbox window?

Using jQuery 1.3.2 and Colorbox 1.3.5

Answer 1

What I wound up doing was making the calling colorbox larger and then having the 'child' colorbox launch inside the parent colorbox; hiding the parents "Close" buttons. Then when the 'child' box is closed re-show the parents buttons.

Yes its ugly, but it works.

Answer 2

You might want the first colorbox instance to load an iframe. In this iframe you can load another colorbox.

Hi, I too have the same requirement. I tried doing it but, my child window is also opening in the same colorbox window overriding the parent content. Can you suggest me how to proceed further or send me some sample code.
