Re: [jQuery] Thickbox Extensions - Dialog Monolog [REPOST]
Loving it loving it! I called my creation jAlert, which has similar functionality, but I never implemented the monolog. bbuchs wrote: [Original message ended up in the API Discussion thread - sorry!] I'm a big, big fan of Cody's Thickbox script.

Re: [jQuery] Thickbox Extensions - Dialog Monolog [REPOST]
Very nice extension of the excellent thickbox. I noticed that the activation link still has focus after the thickbox is displayed. If you then hit return with this focus, it appears the thickbox contents are duplicated.

Re: [jQuery] Thickbox Extensions - Dialog Monolog [REPOST]
Good catch. I'll add a blur() to the links in my demo. I'm re-thinking the Confirm Dialog. Should the function return true/false instead of accepting the callback? Now that I think about it, I don't know why I did it that way... Very nice extension of the excellent thickbox. I noticed that the activation link still has focus after the thickbox is displayed.
