which one is the best: facebox, thickbox, jquery ui dialog, others?

Question

which one is the best to use for:

1. images
2. regular div content
3. ajax loaded content
4. forms to post to server

Answer 1

I would recommend both ColorBox and jQuery UI Dialog, though UI Dialog will be weaker on displaying images. I personally think ColorBox handles images in nicer way considering Dialog was built to be, well, a dialog :).

Update: Apparently the ColorBox server is down for some reason. You'll have to take my word for it... haha. Hope its up soon. The code is also available on Github.

Answer 2

Shadowbox is the cat's meow.
