Answer 1

In case anyone still has to support legacy fancybox with jQuery 3.0+ here are some other changes you'll have to make:

.unbind() deprecated

Replace all instances of .unbind with .off

.removeAttribute() is not a function

Change lines 580-581 to use jQuery's .removeAttr() instead:

Old code:

580: content[0].style.removeAttribute('filter');
581: wrap[0].style.removeAttribute('filter');

New code:

580: content.removeAttr('filter');
581: wrap.removeAttr('filter');

This combined with the other patch mentioned above solved my compatibility issues.
