I'm not sure that I'm following you completely.
Where do I put the call for thickboxDone()?
What I'm confused about is how the first page (that is loaded in the TB)
can have control even after the form has been submitted to a different
page. Do I need to add an onsubmit handler to the form that runs
thickboxDone() as a callback?
It's all dependent on what the processing page does. If there are errors
in the form it will redirect to form page to show the user errors. If
the form is clean it will do some database work and then redirect to the
parent page. In the latter case the TB should close but not the former.
(I hope I'm making sense.)
Thanks,
Chris.
