what is facebox and thickbox

Can someo开发者_JS百科ne explain facebox and thickbox, what's the difference between the two and which do you prefer?

Thanks in advance.

They just have different ways of styling the pop up. Both support images and ajax. Thickbox supports iframes. I would suggest thickbox. It's easy to implement, the style isn't that of what Facebook has already created, and it has support for different kind of content, more so than Facebox. I use http://fancybox.net/ myself. It's very slick, very easy to implement, and has a very flexible API.
