      Hi Rolf,

      Can you clarify this statement for me? This is from the settings page on the Easy Fancybox Pro screen:

      To make inline content open in an overlay, wrap that content in a div with a unique ID, create a link with target “#uniqueID” and give it a class “fancybox-inline” attribute.

      I don’t understand the unique ID part.

      An example would be great.

      Thanks,

      Bill

      Hi William,

      The ID attribute of any HTML element needs to be unique. It can be whatever you like (as long as it starts with a letter, not a number, and has no special characters) but that same ID it must not be used for other elements. This is a general principle in HTML but it is also important to the FancyBox script because else the script will confuse the two elements with that same ID.

      In the example I used “uniqueID” but you could use “popupform-1” and “popupform-2” for two different quote request forms on your Request a Quote page. For example…

      In such a case, you’d edit your page in the Text tab and enter this code:

      
      <a href="#popupform-1" class="button fancybox-inline">Personal Quote</a>
      <div class="fancybox-hidden">
        <div id="popupform-1" style="width:400px;height:300px">
          

      </div> </div> <a href="#popupform-2" class="button fancybox-inline">Business Quote</a> <div class="fancybox-hidden"> <div id="popupform-2" style="width:400px;height:300px">

      </div> </div>

      If in such a case the same ID would be used for both divs, both links would open the same (first) form popup instead of each opening a different one.

      Hope that explains it a bit 🙂
