Answer 1

From the Colorbox Home Page:

JavaScript/jQuery is not working inside of ColorBox.

This is often due to trying to access an element before it has been loaded into the document and can be resolved by moving the JavaScript into ColorBox's onComplete callback.

   //Example (using jQuery Forms plugin):
   $('#login_window').colorbox({onComplete:function(){
   $('form#login').ajaxForm();
   }});

It looks like you might just need to make use of the "onComplete" callback of the plugin.
