[Seaside] jQuery lightbox prompt

[Bob N.]

Guess I'm stuck on the "don't have to create the dialog until you want to".


I can always create a component as needed and #call: it from within a
#callback: block.
I'd just like to swap #call: with #lightbox: in some cases.  With SULightbox
that's easy enough to do.
But the jQuery example uses 'html submitButton onClick: (html jQuery id: id)
dialog open'
so the dialog being opened needs to already be created in order to provide
the id.
(I'm looking at JQDialogFunctionalTest>>renderLightboxOn:)

Is there a jQuery example that parallels
the SULightboxTest>>renderContentOn: example?
(where #inform: is overridden to render as a lightbox).

Or, to put it another way, is there a way to use lightbox behaviour for a
component call with jQuery?

Thanks again,
Bob
