Hello,

i have a fancy script that opens a iframe box for my website.
The issue i am having is that it works perfectly fine on the page, but when i create a table responsive setup, and i add the same link in a tag, it doesn't work and only does a link to the new page in a new window.

Here is my info:

The address book link in the top left - works perfectly

here is my code in the column that works

<div class="col"><a href="account_address_book.asp" class="icon icon-note fancybox fancybox.iframe" dmx-bs-tooltip="'This is where you can add names/emails/cell to your address book for reports'" data-trigger="hover" data-placement="top" data-html="true">Address Book</a>
      </div>

Here is my code within the responsive table that doesn't work

<td>
                  <div class="col"><a href="account_address_book.asp" class="icon icon-note fancybox fancybox.iframe" dmx-bs-tooltip="'This is where you can add names/emails/cell to your address book for reports'" data-trigger="hover" data-placement="top" data-html="true">Address Book</a>
                  </div>
                </td>

any ideas why this is occuring?

Hi Brandon,

You can try by adding a target attribute to the a tag in the table row.

<a href="http://example.com" target="_self">Example!</a>

Have you considered using a modal for the pop-up instead of an iframe?

i tried changing that and it did not help.
It seems like it occurs when the row is a dmx-repeat function. When that is not applied to the column, it works fine.

I'm uncertain as to why the same code works inconsistently in two places. I am assuming it could be due to the limitation of rendering an iframe in the DOM when calling the script from a table row.

Have you considered setting up a modal for the pop-up? A modal doesn't rely on the iframe, and will achieve the same outcome. Unless, of course, there's a coding requirement to use an iframe.

the iframe page was an existing page that pulls in multiple queries and updates which i didn't want to have to recreate.

I will try to see if there is a workaround on this.
