[jQuery] Re: Access Elements Rendered in a Thickbox

Your thickbox script most certainly provides a callback function where
you could add those handlers, which one are you using?

 Hey all -

 I'm looking for/wondering whether there is a way to access an element
 loaded in a thickbox.  I have a page that launches thickbox to load a
 form.  I need to be able to set a click() event listener on the submit
 button of that form so that I can submit the form via ajax.
 Unfortunately, I can't come up with a clever way of doing that.  Any
 ideas?

 I tried (just for the sake of eliminating the obvious) applying the
 event listener on document ready, but no luck, of course, since I
 assume that the form's submit button doesn't exist until the thickbox
 is loaded.  Is there any way to make this happen?

 Thanks.

Hey Ricardo -

I'm using http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/.

I'll dig a little deeper. I was hoping someone already knew the answer
and could spare me hours. :-)

Thanks.

I can't directly answer your question, but the reason that adding the
event listener to the hidden button on document ready does not work is
this (or at least this is what the library I was working with did):

When the Thickbox loads, it does not directly reference the
container it's loading.  It takes the HTML from the container and
basically cut/pastes it (document - thickbox).
When you close the Thickbox it cut/pastes in the other direction
(thickbox - document).

By doing so, its eliminating any events you're adding to the elements
initially.

I can't remember if you can even access the elements using the
standard $('element'). syntax once they are inside Thickbox.
If not, you could use the livequery plugin (http://docs.jquery.com/
Plugins/livequery).
