jquery fancybox - prevent close on click outside of fancybox

Question

I\'m using the Fancybox plugin for my modal windows. It seems like no matter what options I use I can\'t prevent the fancybox modal window from closing when the user clicks

Answer 1

I had to use a combination of all of the above answers, as all of them include errors. Certainly, no editing of the source code is necessary.

In my case, I wanted to disable overlay clicks closing the box as I had a progression of questions that would be displayed sequentially inside the fancybox, so I didn't want users to lose their progress by accidentally clicking on the overlay, but wanted to keep that functionality elsewhere on the page.

Use this to disable it:

$(".fancybox-overlay").unbind();

Use this to re-enable it:

$(".fancybox-overlay").bind("click", $.fancybox.close);
