Hi, We are doing just that on PokerRoom.com for messages and gift-vouchers (previewing a message/gift-voucher before sending). What we actually do is the following (not my code, just a schematic of how it is solved on PokerRoom.com): //Serialize the form using the form-plugin and populate an object with all parameters within the form var oParams = {}; for(i = 0; oItem = oForm.serialize().vars[i]; i++) { oParams[oItem.name] = oItem.value; } /*Attach a parameter to the action-attribute saying that the action the server-side controller needs to accomplish is a preview (we do not want the controller to send the message) */ $("#previewMessage").load( oForm.attr('action') + "?action=preview", oParams, //When load is done, fire Thickbox with the inline content. function() { TB_show('Message Preview', '#TB_inline?height=500&width=630&inlineId=previewMessage'); } ); }
