How to launch jQuery Fancybox on page load

Question

I would like to launch a Fancybox  e g  Fancybox s version of a modal or light box  on page load  I could bind it to a hidden anchor tag and fire the click event of that anchor tag via JavaScript  but I would rather just launch the Fancybox directly and avoid the extra anchor tag

In case if you don t have button to click  I mean if you want to open it on ajax response then it would be like this       fancybox         href    ID         padding     23        maxWidth    690        maxHeight   345

Its simple    Make your element hidden first like this     lt div id  hidden  style  display none   gt      Hi this is hidden  lt  div gt    Then call your javascript    lt script type  text javascript  gt        document  ready function               fancybox   hidden             lt  script gt    Check out the image below     Another example     lt div id  example2  style  display none   gt           lt img src  http   theinstitute ieee org img 07tiProductsandServicesiStockphoto-1311258460873 jpg    gt       lt  div gt     lt script type  text javascript  gt            document  ready function                   fancybox   example2                     lt  script gt

Alex s answer is great  but It is importanting to note that that calls the default fancybox style  If you have your own custom rules  you should just call  trigger click on that specific anchor    document  ready function         hidden link   fancybox         padding            0       cyclic         true       width          625       height         350       padding        0        margin        0        speedIn        300       speedOut       300       transitionIn    elastic        transitionOut    elastic        easingIn        swing        easingOut       swing        titleShow    false              hidden link   trigger  click

For my case  the following can work successfully  When the page is loaded  the lightbox is pop-up immediately   JQuery  1 4 2  Fancybox  1 3 1   lt body onload      aLink   trigger  click     gt   lt a id  aLink  href  http   www google com   gt Link lt  a gt  lt  body gt       lt script type  text javascript  gt        document  ready function                  aLink   fancybox                width                 75                 height                75                 autoScale            false               transitionIn          none                transitionOut         none                type                  iframe                       lt  script gt

Or use this in the JS file after your fancybox is set up       link id   trigger  click      I believe Fancybox 1 2 1 will use default options otherwise from my testing when I needed to do this

Fancybox currently does not directly support a way to automatically launch  The work around I was able to get working is creating a hidden anchor tag and triggering it s click event  Make sure your call to trigger the click event is included after the jQuery and Fancybox JS files are included  The code I used is as follows   This sample script is embedded directly in the HTML  but it could also be included in a JS file    lt script type  text javascript  gt        document  ready function                 hidden link   fancybox   trigger  click             lt  script gt

You can also use the native JavaScript function setTimeout   to delay the display of the box after the DOM is ready    lt a id  reference-first  href   reference-first-message  gt Test the Popup lt  a gt    lt div style  display  none   gt       lt div id  reference-first-message  style  width 400px height 100px overflow auto   gt          Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet  consectetur adipiscing elit  Etiam quis mi eu elit tempor facilisis id et neque  Nulla sit amet sem sapien  Vestibulum imperdiet porta ante ac ornare  Nulla et lorem eu nibh adipiscing ultricies nec at lacus  Cras laoreet ultricies sem  at blandit mi eleifend aliquam  Nunc enim ipsum  vehicula non pretium varius  cursus ac tortor  Vivamus fringilla congue laoreet  Quisque ultrices sodales orci  quis rhoncus justo auctor in  Phasellus dui eros  bibendum eu feugiat ornare  faucibus eu mi  Nunc aliquet tempus sem  id aliquam diam varius ac  Maecenas nisl nunc  molestie vitae eleifend vel  iaculis sed magna  Aenean tempus lacus vitae orci posuere porttitor eget non felis  Donec lectus elit  aliquam nec eleifend sit amet  vestibulum sed nunc       lt  div gt   lt  div gt    lt script type  text javascript  gt        document  ready function                 reference-first   fancybox                titlePosition             inside                transitionIn              fade                transitionOut             fade                overlayColor               333                overlayOpacity           0 9            trigger  click               launch on load after 5 second delay         window setTimeout      reference-first     5000            lt  script gt

Maybe this will help    this was used in the full size jQuery calendar click event  http   arshaw com fullcalendar      but it can be used more generally to deal with fancybox being launched by jQuery     eventClick  function calEvent  jsEvent  view          jQuery  body   after   lt a id  link   calEvent url    style  display  hidden   href  http   thisweekinblackness com wp-content uploads 2009 01 steve-urkel jpg  gt Steve lt  a gt           jQuery   link   calEvent url  fancybox           jQuery   link   calEvent url  click          jQuery   link   calEvent url  remove        return false

I actually managed to trigger a fancyBox link only from an external JS file using the  live  event   First  add the live click event on your future dynamic anchor      a pub   live  click   function         this  fancybox     fancybox parameters            Then  append the anchor to the body      body   append   lt a class  iframe pub  href  your-url html  gt  lt  a gt       Then trigger the fancyBox by  clicking  the anchor      a pub   click      The fancyBox link is now  almost  ready  Why  almost    Because it looks like you need to add some delay before trigger the second click  otherwise the script is not ready   It s a quick and dirty delay using some animation on our anchor but it works well      a pub   slideDown  fast   function          a pub   click          Here you go  your fancyBox should appears onload   HTH

I got this to work by calling this function in document ready     document  ready function                fancybox                width    40                 height    40                 autoScale   true               transitionIn    fade                transitionOut    fade                type    iframe                href    http   www example com

Window load  as opposed to document ready    appears to the be the trick used in the JSFiddler onload demos of Fancybox 2 0     window  load function           fancybox  test          Bare in mind you may be using document ready   elsewhere  and IE9 gets upset with the load order of the two  This leaves you with two options  change everything to window load or use a setTimer

The best way I ve found is    lt script type  text javascript  gt        document  ready function               fancybox                   WRAPPER FOR hidden div with content to show   html      fancybox works perfect with hidden divs                                    fancybox options                                    lt  script gt
