[ASP.NET 4]Any advice for Lightbox2 in Master Pages?

Are you already using jquery on the site? If so, I prefer ColorBox and haven't had any problems with using it on masterpages. However, the lightbox is defined within a user control that's on a content page that calls the masterpage, not on the masterpage itself. I don't see why it wouldn't work on the masterpage directly.

At my last job we used a different lightbox. I'm trying to remember what it was but I'm drawing a blank. I can check tonight when I get home. It might be FatBox. When I was there and we were looking at them, jquery wasn't in the state that it was and a lot of the *boxes required a mismash of libraries that weren't compatible with the .net way, or there libraryless implementation conflicted directly with .net's ajax libraries (this was circa .net 2.0 still). I think Lightbox2 was included in with the has-problems group but that doesn't mean those issues haven't been worked out.

Not using jQuery. This is a clean slate. I'm wanting to use it within databound controls like FormView and ListView on content pages. I had a bitch of a time last summer with a custom js scroller the client insisted I use...it had all sorts of conniptions over being in content pages because of how the content page control ids are generated. I just don't want to go through that again.

I know that. The problem was the js had DOM dependencies that were broken when dropped into a DHTML page.
