Re: Using js helper to call fancybox()

Ok, got it.

Not entirely sure why (I'm still pretty new with jQuery) but this is
what I found.

At first I was using this and could only get the pop-up box to show up
after the first click:

$elementid = 'add-report-' . $school['School']['id'];
$this->Js->get('#' . $elementid);
$this->Js->event('click', "$(\"#" . $elementid . "\")" .
'.fancybox();', array('stop' => true));

This is what ended up working correctly:
$this->Js->event('click', "$.fancybox({'href': this.href,});",
array('stop' => true));
