Hello Everyone:

I have been fighting with this problem for quite some time and I'm beginning to think it is not possible.

I have a private website for my corporate students where I display upcoming class details using the Ajax Event Calendar.

On the front page of the site I have a simple repeat region show classes that are scheduled for the next 7 days. When you click on the items shown, they open in the DMX Lightbox with complete details.

I would like to accomplish the same thing when clicking on the event in the main calendar month view, but unfortunately all it does is reload the entire month calendar page in the lightbox.

It is very frustrating. I have followed the tutorials to the letter and it won't do it.

Is this possible?

Here is the site front page to see what I want to do...
www.alps-vn.com

And here you can see what I'm getting
www.alps-vn.com/events.php

Here is what I have in the 'link' field of the calEvents table:

http://www.alps-vn.com/eventdetails.php?event_id=<?php echo $row_rsCal['event_id']; ?>


I have also tried this without success:

eventdetails.php?event_id=<?php echo $row_rsCal['event_id']; ?>


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply.

The video tutorial you suggested is the exact same tutorial I used, and the result is that the entire calendar page is reloaded into the light box.

I want the details page to load into the lightbox with the corresponding record details displayed.

Am I doing something wrong?

Wow! It works! This is great!

And your answer was so obvious, I'm shocked that I didn't see it myself!

Once again I have learned something new!

Thank you.
