It's ok.

I think I can work with this but it becomes a bit of a kludge. (Not a knock at you of course.) Here are two scenarios: Current, without Javascript: Parent page > form page loads > back to parent page Proposed solution, with Javascript: Parent page > thickbox loads form page > successful page loads, thickbox closes, back to parent Proposed solution, without Javascript: Parent page > form page loads > successful page loads, user just sits at a blank page I want to start writing my apps with progressive enhancement in mind so considering the above, what are my other options? I can say that I only chose the IFrame method of TB because it worked correctly with my stylesheet. When I loaded the form page through the AJAX method the styles from my page were totally ignored. I could go back to the AJAX method if it would make my goal easier to achieve. Thanks, Chris.
