Answer 1

Calling Thickbox via JavaScript

var url = "http://www.blah.com/something?KeepThis=true&TB_iframe=true&width=300&height=200";
tb_show("My Caption", url);

Syntax: tb_show(caption, url, imageGroup)

Code allows to call thickbox from javascript.

You can trigger tb_show with inline html as well:

tb_show("Modal title", "#TB_inline?inlineId=modal_container");

When using text be ensure to keep them in p tags. Checkbox label text have to be valid HTML (with label for) otherwise the label gets striped out.

<div id="modal_container" style="display:none;">
    <p>
        Example Text
    </p>     
    <input type="checkbox" name="checkbox_name" id="checkbox_name" value="value">
    <label for="checkbox_name">Example Label</label>
</div>
