Populating a thickbox via javascript or jQuery

Question

I'm trying to get string data from a web service and populate a thickbox with this data. I feel like this should be the easiest part of the task but so far this is where I'm stuck.

Here is the code in question...

function AjaxRequestHandler(layerName) {
    PageMethods.AjaxRequestHandler(layerName, OnSucceeded);
}

function OnSucceeded(result) {
    // need to display result to the thickbox here...
    alert(result);
}

If I alert as I have above, the text from result is exactly what I want to display in the thickbox. The thickbox also appears but everything I've tried just brings it up empty. My initial gut instinct was to do a document.write, but I can't do that because I get a permission denied error.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I should note that the link with the onclick event running the thickbox is being built up from C# code behind then injected into a GridView. I've tried doing something like what slf has suggested below, but it just shoves data below the link, not into the thickbox.

The thickbox just displays the content that it wraps. I haven't tried it, but if you give the <a href and id="myupdatablecontent"> and then do something like this:

$("#myupdatablecontent").html("foo");

it should work like magic
