For users coming back to this post long after the initial answer was accepted, it may pay off to note that now you can use

data-fancybox-href="#"

on any element (since data is an HTML-5 accepted attribute) to have the fancybox work on say an input form if for some reason you can't use the options to initiate for some reason (like say you have multiple elements on the page that use fancybox and they all share a similar class you call fancybox on).

As far as I know  an input element may not have a href attribute  which is where Fancybox gets its information about the content  The following code uses an a element instead of the input element  Also  this is what I would call the  standard way     lt html gt   lt head gt     lt script type  text javascript  charset  utf-8  src  http   ajax googleapis com ajax libs jquery 1 7 1 jquery min js  gt  lt  script gt     lt script type  text javascript  src  http   fancyapps com fancybox source jquery fancybox pack js v 2 0 5  gt  lt  script gt     lt link rel  stylesheet  type  text css  href  http   fancyapps com fancybox source jquery fancybox css v 2 0 5  media  screen    gt   lt  head gt   lt body gt    lt a href   divForm  id  btnForm  gt Load Form lt  a gt    lt div id  divForm  style  display none  gt     lt form action  tbd  gt      File   lt input type  file    gt  lt br   gt  lt br   gt       lt input type  submit    gt     lt  form gt   lt  div gt    lt script type  text javascript  gt      function            btnForm   fancybox           lt  script gt    lt  body gt   lt  html gt    See it in action on JSBin

I use approach with appending  singleton  link for element you want to show in fancybox  This is code  what I use with some minor edits   function showElementInPopUp elementId        var fancyboxAnchorElementId    fancyboxTriggerFor     elementId      if        fancyboxAnchorElementId  length    0               body   append   lt a id      fancyboxAnchorElementId      href       elementId     style  display none   gt  lt  a gt                   fancyboxAnchorElementId  fancybox                       fancyboxAnchorElementId  click        Additional explanation  If you show fancybox with  content  option  it will duplicate DOM  which is inside elements  Sometimes this is not OK  In my case I needed to have the same elements  because they were used in form

You just use this and it will be helpful for you      btnForm   click function        fancybox        padding    0       width      1087       height     610       type        iframe       content        divForm   show
