So with that said, why in the world would I be introducing ThickBox? (See the example, which is my own little twist on the Lightbox technique.) Am I a hypocrite? I hope not. My version of the Lightbox technique includes functionality similar to that of the Greybox technique. That is, ThickBox can show html pages as well as images. The html that is shown inside ThickBox is pulled from the server using AJAX (really AXAH). I would like to think that my twist is bridging the gap between Greybox and Lightbox functionality.
