Refresh links on page

[Vaskerville]

After an update, I'm trying to refresh the links on the page so they can be available...

Shadowbox.clearCache();
Shadowbox.setup();

Isn't doing the trick. Both functions are firing. I have tried this with the 'correction' to the clearCache() function with no change in the results.

Has anybody been able to do this?

try this for clearCache()...

    Shadowbox.clearCache = function(){
        var i = cache.length;
        while(i--){
            if(cache[i].el){
                SL.removeEvent(cache[i].el, 'click', handleClick);
                try{
                  delete cache[i].el.shadowboxCacheKey;
                }catch(e){
                  if(cache[i].el.removeAttribute){
                    cache[i].el.removeAttribute('shadowboxCacheKey');
                  }
                }
            }
        }
        cache = [];
    };

Thanks for this. I can confirm that the above does work...and even the original code works (at least in Safari 3).

What I've discovered, is that Jquery ($.post) returns my results to the page AFTER Shadowbox.setup(); is firing so it's logical that it's not refreshing all my links (it does refresh the ones not included in the ajax reload).

So...it's not Shadowbox afterall... :/

Great work...a 'tip' will arrive shortly...

Well, for what it's worth...I just can not get this to work with a Jquery $.post call...but if like use the Jquery.load() method it works.

What I'm doing is a little complicated and there could be something else in the way...but I thought I would post this...maybe this makes some sense to somebody else...

In the end, I just designed a way around it so everything works...the first idea was too much...second idea works like a charm (still using Shadowbox too).

This patch fixes IE 7 for me.

I had the same problem and fixed it with downloading source zip file and editing shadowbox.js. I changed the removeCache function to...

removeCache: function(link){
            S.lib.removeEvent(link, 'click', handleClick);
            S.cache[link[S.expando]] = null;
            try{
            delete link.shadowboxCacheKey;
                        }catch(e){
                if(link.removeAttribute){
                link.removeAttribute('shadowboxCacheKey');
                }
            }
        },
