Calling Fancybox from within .click()

Hi I have seen example code that makes no sense to me. On this stack Question at Fancybox - form submit and close it? the user has posted this code:

$('a.detail').click(function() {
   $.fancybox({
         'width'         : 750,
         'height'        : 520,
         'title'         : 'EDIÇÃO DE SHOW',
   'titlePosition' : 'inside',
   'transitionIn' : 'fade',
   'transitionOut' : 'none',
   'href'          : 'templates/detail.php?id=<?php echo $tg_id['id'];?>',
   'type'          : 'iframe'  
   })
  })

but fancybox doesn't seem to behave this way. The fancybox call seems to only load the trigger onto the link, not actually display it. I would really like to know how to do it this way without having to wrap a hidden link into the page and trigger it that way. Th开发者_运维知识库is seems alot cleaner.

if are using zend and php then create and separate action and view to load the content or site u want to display . and disable the layout ..

What about calling fancybox directly like that:

$.fancybox(things_to_be_displayed, {settings});

You can use this call in any event handler. Check the manual call examples on fancybox webpage.
