Prevent colorbox instance from closing

Question

Is it possible to prevent colorbox from being closed? I am using as a loading screen for a server side processing script and don't want it to be closed until finished.

$(function(){
    $("#songPayBtn").click(function() {

        $("#ccResultDiv").show();

$.fn.colorbox({width:"50%",
    height:"50%",
    inline:true,
    href:"#ccResultDiv",
    onClosed:function(){ <?php echo "window.location = \"http://rt.ja.com/trackdownload.php?trackid=" . $_SESSION['trackid'] . "\"";?> }
});

Answer 1

You can prevent your colorbox from closing and hide the close button by adding these options:

$("#myColorbox").colorbox({
    escKey: false, //escape key will not close
    overlayClose: false, //clicking background will not close
    closeButton: false // hide the close button
});

This will also allow you to still use the $.colorbox.close() method when you are ready to close your colorbox.

Answer 2

It is indeed. You can redefine the close method before anything is initialized:

$.fn.colorbox.close = function(){};

This has to occur before the $(document).ready() function since it's during this that colorbox will take care of assigning its close method to elements and events.
