No errors are displaying in the console. Also this issue is only happening in IE8 on Windows XP. Windows 7 in IE8 works just fine.

QUESTION
I am requesting colorbox to open a complex URL

$('.manage_locations').colorbox({
    innerWidth: '1100px',
    innerHeight: '505px',
    iframe:true,
    href:'/admin_console/assignments_groups_group_information_manage_locations.cfm?gid=3&CFID=22701&CFTOKEN=83690449'});

This system is built in ColdFusion. When I click the trigger .manage_locations it launches the colorbox, but the loader just spins and never loads the iFrame content. I have narrowed it down to the issue is the data in the URL after the ? Any ideas how I could correct this for IE8?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  • Make sure you look at the output in the js console, otherwise you're debugging in the dark. – Aram Kocharyan Apr 27 '12 at 15:37
  • I think that should read "?gid=3&CFID=22701&CFTOKEN=83690449" if you're passing separate variables. – Aram Kocharyan Apr 27 '12 at 15:38
  • I adjusted `&` to `&` but no change was seen in IE8. How can I view the console in IE8? I have the developer tools installed, but I don't see a way to view the console within those tools. – Help Inspire Apr 27 '12 at 15:44
  • Okay I found how to view the console in IE8 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2656730/internet-explorer-console – Help Inspire Apr 27 '12 at 15:46
  • I am getting no errors in the console. Also a new fact I have found is this issue only appears on Windows XP IE8. Windows 7 IE8 works just fine. – Help Inspire Apr 27 '12 at 15:50

The issue was corrected by setting the fastIframe property to false to delay the removal of the loading graphic until the iframe element's onload event fires. Example:

$('a.myIframe').colorbox({iframe:true, width:500, height:500, fastIframe:false});

  • Thanks so much! The fastIframe property did the trick for me as well. – Matt Jun 04 '12 at 19:21
