ThickBox (JQuery)

I gave up on the CF8 bundled AJAX libraries and moved on to JQuery.  I decided to use ThickBox for my modal window needs, but I've noticed some differences between thickbox and cfwindow. 1.  ThickBox is not modal in the same way that cfwindow is.  It fades out the parent layer, but unlike cfwindow, I can exit the thickbox by clicking in the faded area.  With cfwindow my interaction is limited to just the modal window.  Is there a way to accomplish the same thing in ThickBox? 2.  I can't figure out how to make the thickbox window draggable like cfwindow.  Is this something that is possible with thickbox? I know this isn't directly related to CF, but I am at a loss for places to ask.  If anyone knows of a list or forums where these kinds of questions would be more appropriate to ask please let me know :) Thanks! -- ~Steve

No prob. Just so you know, I'm part of the jQuery team and I troll here often. If you need something, feel free to email me directly. Rey Steve Good wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Steve, as for modal, add modal=true and clicking the parent is disabled. Though you will need to add a button or link that calls tb_remove() or you can't exit it all. I haven't tried any dragging. The sources the others have mentioned will be best for that and future questions.
