How do i create a lightbox (modal popup) that contains HTML (and specifically a form). All the dojo documentation only shows images in lightboxes - I want to be able to put html in there....

NM - what I was looking for is called 'dialog':

dojo looks handy. I might have to check that out.

^yea I was not down with dojo for a while. I dont think a pure dojo app is good for user facing apps, however its awesome for making administration pages.

the only downsides to dojo (and they're pretty big in my book) are it's massive godzilla-like footprint and the sheer lack of good documentation

i've found myself scouring the js just to figure out what a function does more times than i've found useful information in the docs.

i sorta like yui

i'm a big fan of highslide for modal windows

I had a bitch of a time making a lightbox style window that would have a flash video player in it. Mainly because every browser except for Safari would render half the flash player. But the end result was worth the hassle.

Dojo is trash. Holla at mootools:

Mootools is has the best terrible documentation in the world. It's just on the cusp of being helpful.

while we're on the subject of favorite toolkits, what are your favorite web based WYSIWYG editors? i've used tinyMCE and FCKeditor. so far i'm more impressed with tinyMCE but to be honest none of them i've seen are fantastic. any other suggestions?

5/13/2008 12:23:57 PM

those are the only two i've used before...i like tinyMCE better because it's a bit more customizable
