Here's a little bit of tweaking that allows you open your shadowbox inside a specific target element instead of filling the browser window. I haven't got any specific need for this (yet) but have seen a number of other lightbox-esquq scripts do this, and since it is a 3 line edit, I thought it was worth it:
1: Add 'container: false' as a default option in shadowbox.js (line 157)
2: Change line 692 to the following:
var el = S.options.container?S.util.get(S.options.container):document.body; S.lib.append(el, markup);
3: When setting up Shadowbox, include the following setting:
Shadowbox.options.container = 'target_element_id';
One note is that the target element should have position:relative or position:absolute, and a specified width/height, but that pretty much goes without saying.
