How to add a link to light box containing a form from within a static text field

    The situation is this....

    I have a text field, within this text field I need to refer to additional information by clicking a link. Ideally, I'd like the additional information (at this point it is another form -- static text only, no other fields) to open in a lightbox but a pop-up will work too. I have tried injecting the lightbox script into the text html but it doesn't work. Can you make a recommendation as to how I can achieve this result?

    Thank you

    Becky

    Hi BDavid,

    I think you missed where I said that didn't work. It strips out the scripting for it leaving only an a href.

    To avoid some confusion. The static text I'm referring to is a form element. It is the "Text" field I'm trying to accomplish this in

    I found a work around that I believe will be better.

    I no longer need support on this ticket. Because the popup or lightbox was only going to contain text, I rearranged my form to be contained in pages in my site, leaving only true, fillable fields in my form. I was able to put what I needed into an inline popup. It's all good. It worked out better this way.
