ThickBox - AJAX Modal Window With Functionality

Wednesday, June 21, 2006


Visit the Thickbox website

Thickbox includes the functionality of the Greybox technique with that of Lightbox, to product a great model window solution. The script allows you show structural markup and images in the window. The html that is shown inside ThickBox is pulled from the server using AJAX. Additionally, Thickbox uses a compressed version of jquery rather than the close to 100k of Prototype & Scriptaculous to create a lightweight model window solution.

I just found iBox today at http://www.ibegin.com/blog/p_ibox.html which is a similar solution. Unlike ThickBox it incorporates graceful degradation.

I think you mean “modal” window, not “model”.
