As jQuery thickbox is not maintained anymore (as of ThickBox 3.1), what is the best alternative for jQuery thickbox currently available under GPL or similar license. Looks nyromodal is best available so far, but is there anything better. (nyromodal has some problems in IE 6)

I am looking for a plugin which can handle ajax forms, inline content replacement开发者_JS百科, images, using hidden elements and ajax call with flexibility using the callback mechanisms..

I always used slimbox, but found out about ColorBox the other day. It is awesome to say the least. It seems that every feature and detail was thought about and executed brilliantly. We just used it at our studio for the first time this week, but it seems really excellent.

It has a ton of options and even callback events. Definitely check it out.

What about (a little modified Version of) ui.dialog? ( http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/ ) I haven't tested it yet, but it seems to work without any problems.

How about TopUp?

or how about SuperBox?

All of them: http://planetozh.com/projects/lightbox-clones/

After some research and lot of quick prototyping, I feel like my old companion Nyromodal is the only option left for me, which gives me flexibility of controlling it using its extensive api, I went through other options given by the users and topup and blockui came closer (rest of them are also good, but doesn't meet my needs). But guys, thanks for the help and input.

Check out the Flowplayer overlay http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/overlay/index.html, this is one of the nicest ones I've seen.

We've used BlockUI to great effect:

Its from the same author as the the forms plugin, amongst others, so should be pretty solid!

Jquery UI Dialog will work, but you will have to learn other jQuery and jQuery UI components (Ajax, tab strips and 3rd party image viewer plugins).

I like the Jquery approach which will allow you build on a consistent framework, as opposed to downloading random and maybe not very compatible application-specific widgets.
