How to close a Colorbox from a Controller in CodeIgniter?

Question

I have a Colorbox (lightbox) loading a specific controller/view. Is there any way for me to close the colorbox from within the controller?

Answer 1

Ostensibly you could echo out the hideLightbox() method from your controller:

echo '<script>hideLightbox(); return false;</script>';

but I'm not sure this is what you're looking for.
