I'm trying to build a website, and one of the things I am trying to do is load a form in a sized lightbox window. Can anyone help in how I might go about doing this? Even just loading a sized blank target window would work. I just want to have the window open outside the main page.

Here's a blog post on using a form in a modal window. It should get you pointed in the right direction.

Well I just tried to do this and it opens the form on only the blank page (plainpage.php) with no text other than the form, no logo, nothing. I uploaded the fancybox to /public_html/domain (which is root on my sites) as well as adding the script to the header.php file. The window does not resize and does not open the framed modal window. Any thoughts?
You can view the form at http://www.xtremedjs.info looking towards the bottom where the h3 is Contact Us.

It looks like you paths are incorrect. Your theme is looking for the fancybox files here..

I personally would move the files into the theme, there will be less to have to change (CSS background image paths, etc.)
I'm pretty sure once you have the paths correct, you'll be up and running.

I checked and your paths are still wrong. I tried pathing directly to the .js and .css files and ended up on your 404 page.
It looks like you're using a newer version of fancybox (version 1.3.1) so your filename is actually incorrect. You need to path to these files.

Okay, I found your bug.. this should be it this time.
in the jQuery definition.. there is a misspelling in the "autoscale" setting. "flase" should be "false"
'autoScale' : false,I copied your markup, made the correction and you can see a working test version of your page here.
Let me know if that works for you this time.
