I'm working on a project that uses the velocity templating system, so the $ character is reserved, and cannot be used in javascript variable names.
As such, I have to prefix jQuery variables and methods with jQuery, rather than $, e.g. jQuery(document).ready(function() {}); as opposed to $(document)ready(function(){});
This is ordinarily fine, but in this case I am using colorbox.
My code to call colorbox works fine, and looks like this:
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery(#addUser).colorbox({
href:add,
width:500px,
onClosed: function (message) {
dataTable.refresh(jQuery(#ajaxResult).text(message));
}
})
...
})
I have a link inside the colorbox that I want to attach the colorbox.close method to, but when I click the link, I get this error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method
'close' of undefined
This is my code:
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
jQuery(a).click(function() {
jQuery.colorbox.close(User added succesfully);
});
...
})
Can anybody tell me why I cannot close the colorbox?
By the way, the X that comes with colorbox still works to close it.
