fancybox ajax发布到iframe

Question

is it possible using fancybox to post a var to the iframe when opens?

I currently have:

function fancyBoxLoad(element) {
    var elementToEdit = $("#" + $(element).attr("class"));
    var content = encodeURIComponent($(elementToEdit).outerHTML());
    $.fancybox(
        { 'href': 'loadEditor.php' },
        {
            frameWidth: 750,
            frameHeight: 430,
            overlayShow: true,
            ajax: {
                type: "POST",
                data: 'content=' + content
            },
            type: 'iframe'
        }
    );
}

It does seem that if I take away type: 'iframe' it will post data but it doesn't appear to be in the iframe and if I take away ajax: { type: "POST", data: 'content=' + content } instead it will open in an iframe but not post the data (the example above does the same)

So my question being can it be done?

If you're simply trying to put content in a iframe, why don't you use fancybox to create the iframe, and once you know it's been created, then access it via the reference that fancybox returns to you and set your content that way. I'm not sure you want to send the content to the server and back. Just wait for the iframe to load, then on ready, query an element within it and set the content.
