How to automatically load HTML page into shadow box on load

[Westfield]

I would like an automatic shadowbox loading when my page is loaded. The shadow box should have a html page in it. I can get an image to load but not an html page. Any help would be appreciated


I'm using this

window.onload = function(){

    Shadowbox.init({
        // let's skip the automatic setup because we don't have any
        // properly configured link elements on the page
        skipSetup: true
    });

    // open a welcome message
    Shadowbox.open({
        player:     'html',
        title:      'Program Alert',
        content:    '',
        height:     450,
        width:      450
    });

};

</script>

sorry what I'm using is

window.onload = function(){

    Shadowbox.init({
        // let's skip the automatic setup because we don't have any
        // properly configured link elements on the page
        skipSetup: true
    });

    // open a welcome message
    Shadowbox.open({
        player:     'html',
        title:      'Program Alert',
        content:    '<url="http://www.microsoft.com">',
        height:     450,
        width:      450
    });

};

</script>

I can't see a problem.
It may be a comma or something but ...

please provide an online example.

beers,

Is the url command correct?

[build]

no i was blind to that.

please provide an online example!

it is so much easier to see a problem

Just (for example) ...

content : 'http :// www .mydomain .com / page.html'

[no spaces, obviously!]

Gud day guys. im new in this forum and also new to shadowbox script. we have same problems in loading a html file. but i find a simple solution in loading it. your script will not load any object because you dont declare any players. in order to automatically load a file or object you need to declare or open a function that calls the type of file you are calling. example you are calling a html file. then you need to call a player for that html file.

here's the script(i just added a player function and remove the skip setup)

<script>
window.onload = function(){

    Shadowbox.init({
        // let's skip the automatic setup because we don't have any
        // properly configured link elements on the page
        //skipSetup: true
        players:  [ 'html']
    });

    // open a welcome message
    Shadowbox.open({
        player:     'html',
        title:      'Program Alert',
        content:    '<url="http://www.microsoft.com">',
        height:     450,
        width:      450
    });

};

the players:['html'] calls the function for the html objects. then that should work.
hope this script will help.

Example (minimal, and assuming the iframe player is configured/loaded):

Shadowbox.open({
    player : 'iframe'
  , content : 'thepage.html'
  });
