lightbox no image just text?

Question

I am currently using light box provided by ... http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/

How do I have it so that if I click on a work it brings up the light box and shows text instead of an image? what I want is the terms and conditions shown up in a lightbox.

HTML

<span id="terms"> <a href="">Terms & Conditions</a></span>

jQuery

$(function () {
   $('#terms a').lightBox();
});

Answer 1

It seems like this lightbox plugin only works with images. You should choose another plugin like colorbox: http://jacklmoore.com/colorbox/ It's simple to use and supports iframes and also div elements inside the lightbox.

Answer 2

I don't think that you can use the plugin as you desire,because that plugin works with images, in any case specify the text you want to appear in the title of the <a>

 <a title="this plugin takes text from here" href="">Terms & Conditions</a>

But i think you will have to find another plugin

Answer 3

I like to use Fancybox to show content in a lightbox. Create a simple HTML page for your terms and conditions then the page will load within the lightbox. If Javascript is disabled they will be taken to the page via the link
