Open Thickbox With Onclick

There might be certain times when you would want to open a thickbox with onclick instead of the regular a href. Say you want to make a whole td cell clickable. To do so follow the below steps.

1. Open thickbox.js

2. Find the line –
tb_init(‘a.thickbox, area.thickbox, input.thickbox’);//pass where to apply thickbox

3. Add td.thickbox. The line would look like –
tb_init(‘a.thickbox, area.thickbox, input.thickbox, td.thickbox’);//pass where to apply thickbox

4. Next look for the line –
var a = this.href || this.alt;

5. Add the abbr attribute which would contain the link to open. The line would look like –
var a = this.href || this.alt || this.abbr;

6. Now add thickbox to td like
td class=”thickbox” abbr=”openthis.html”

Enjoy 🙂
