How to Use Fancybox with Dynamically Added Elements?

Binding Fancybox to Dynamically Added Elements

You can encounter issues using Fancybox v1.3.4 with elements that are added dynamically to the document. This is because Fancybox binds to static elements only.

Solution:

Step 1: Upgrade to jQuery v1.7.x

This version includes the .on() method that allows you to bind events to dynamically added elements.

Step 2: Use .on() and the focusin Event

Bind the .on() method to the parent element of your fancybox elements. The focusin event is used to ensure that Fancybox only binds to elements within the focus of the parent container.

For example, if your Fancybox elements have the class "ajaxFancyBox" and are within a container with the id "container":

$("#container").on("focusin", function() {
  $("a.ajaxFancyBox").fancybox({
    // Set your Fancybox options here
  });
});

This method also supports specifying different Fancybox options for different types of content:

$("#container").on("focusin", function() {
  $("a.ajaxFancyBox").fancybox({
    // Ajax options
  });

  $("a.iframeFancyBox").fancybox({
    // Iframe options
  });
});

Important Note for Chrome:

In Chrome, adding tabindex attributes to all elements bound to Fancybox is necessary to make the on() method work:

<a tabindex="1" class="ajaxFancyBox" href="image01.jpg">...</a>
<a tabindex="1" class="ajaxFancyBox" href="image02.jpg">...</a>

This solution works for both appending new content and replacing existing content. Ensure that new content is added within the container where the .on() method is applied.
