Try adding this option :

'hideOnOverlayClick' : false

Thank you, that worked. I could've sworn I had tried that before. – Noe Sep 23 '10 at 14:58
I just realized why it wasn't working before, had this 'false' instead of just false no quotes. – Noe Sep 23 '10 at 15:03
In effect, `'false'` with quotes is a string that evaluates to `true` in a boolean context ! ^^ – Golmote Kinoko Sep 23 '10 at 15:05
Whenever I try to add that option I keep getting syntax error on Dreamweaver. :/ – Nov 13 '11 at 20:33
