Hi all,
Just wanted to let you all know that the jQuery adapter has been
updated
to include the kind of sweet jQuery functionality that Mike is
talking about
in this email. Head on over and give it a shot if you haven't
already.

Michael,
I really love what you've done with shadowbox. But I dislike
having to
add specific markup to drive the behavior. And as a jQuery user I
really
want to invoke it like this (for example):
$('a[href$=swf]').shadowbox();
So if you're open to suggestion, I'd love to see a minor
modification.
Here's what I changed to make it more amendable to the jQuery
calling style.
1. Added this method to shadowbox.js (just below the current
"setup" fn):
Shadowbox.setup2 = function(links){
for(var i = 0, len = links.length; i < len; ++i)
setupLink(links[i]);
};
2. Added this to shadowbox-jquery.js:
jQuery.fn.shadowbox = function() {
Shadowbox.setup2(this);
};
Now I can call it like this without having to change any markup
anywhere,
so it becomes a drop-in replacement:
$(function() {
var options = { /* whatever */ };
Shadowbox.init(options);
$('a[href$=swf]').shadowbox();
});
Of course there are more restrictions than one might expect from a
traditional jQuery plugin (like not being able to pass options on
a per-call
basis), but it's a pretty minor change. Food for thought.
Mike
