colorbox bug - close colorbox from a link or button
colorbox, jquery
Solution
`$.colorbox.close()` is the correct way to close colorbox, do not listen to these other comments. The problem is that you are loading colorbox a second time. Remove the `jquery.colorbox.js` script block from `notification.aspx`.
Problem
I open the popup by calling ``` $.colorbox({ href: "notification.aspx" }); ``` In notification.aspx I have ``` <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/colorbox/jquery.colorbox-min.js"></script> ... <a id="btnClose">OK</a> ``` The popup was shown fine, but when I click the button it gives a JavaScript error. In the main page's javascript I have ``` $('#btnClose').live('click', function () { alert('closing...'); // Alert shown as expected $.colorbox.close(); // Nothing happens, no JavaScript error //$.fn.colorbox.close(); // same //parent.$.fn.colorbox.close(); // same //$.colorbox.remove(); // same //$('#cboxClose').click(); // same //$('#cboxOverlay').click(); // same }); ``` I am just trying to close the popup. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. EDIT: I got it working somehow, I'll find out what made it works.
