Inappropriate?Hey Erwin,
The best way to sum it up is that, assuming you're using a web widget or HTML/JS widget, your widget will be displayed in an iframe. So any limitations that you'd run into if you iframed in your widget apply. This includes running JS on the parent page to generate a lightbox.

What we're trying to build is a widget users on our site can grab and post on their sites or blogs and we are trying to use lightbox to pop up some of the information inside our flash widget. Here is what I have so far http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/winem.... On the "Vineyards" tab click on the "Watch Video" link. That calls lightbox but it is contained just within the widget size. Is it possible to make the widget show the pop-up above it? -
Hey Erwin,
This widget is pretty awesome! Unfortunately, you won't be able to lightbox from the iframe. Why not try a pop-up like you do with the wine-maker profiles? -
The usual javascript pop up gets blocked on some browsers. We are looking to use lightbox so that we can just have the pop ups within the same page. Do you know of other widgets that does pop ups too? -
Hey Erwin,
