Ajax Thought

I didn't see a way to load live content into the lightbox without using an iFrame so I cobbled something together. Maybe this helps someone, maybe there's a better way..... of which there is at the bottom of this entry.

The link

<a href="#the_content" data-url="link-to-source" data-rel="lightcase">Some Link</a>

The div

<div id="the_content" style="display:none;"></div>

The script

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {  
    $('a[data-rel^=lightcase]').lightcase({  
        onInit: {  
            rewrite: function() {  
	        $.ajax({  
                    url: $(this).attr("data-url") + '?_=' + new Date().getTime(),  
                    type: 'GET',  
                    success: function(data) {  
                        $('#the_content').html(data);  
                    }  
               });  
            }  
        }  
    });  
});

The Better Way

<a id="myElement" href="link-to-source">Simple AJAX Load</a>

$("#myElement").lightcase({
        type: "ajax",
        ajax: {
            type : "get",
            dataType : "html"
        }
});
