Klaus, Thanks for responding. This is happening in both IE and FF. I hadn't thought of ThickBox having an onShow Callback. That may be my best bet. I thought that putting code in the $(function(){}); section was supposed to prevent this sort of thing.
For what it's worth, here's my code for the dialog page that gets loaded into the thickbox: <cfsetting showdebugoutput="false"> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/ TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>Cottonwood Financial Title Loans</title> <style type="text/css">@import url("CSS/Main.css");</style> <style type="text/css">@import url("CSS/thickbox.css");</style> <!--[if IE]> <style type="text/css">@import url("CSS/Main.ie.css");</style> <![endif]--> <cfscript> ShowLog4JS = false; JSIncludeList = ""; JSIncludeList = ListAppend(JSIncludeList, "jquery.dump"); JSIncludeList = ListAppend(JSIncludeList, "jquery.block"); JSIncludeList = ListAppend(JSIncludeList, "jquery.json"); JSIncludeList = ListAppend(JSIncludeList, "jquery.cfjs"); JSIncludeList = ListAppend(JSIncludeList, "jquery.thickbox"); JSIncludeList = ListAppend(JSIncludeList, "jquery.dimensions"); JSIncludeList = ListAppend(JSIncludeList, "json"); if(ShowLog4JS){ JSIncludeList = ListAppend(JSIncludeList, "log4j"); } </cfscript> <script type="text/javascript" src="Include/js/jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="Include/js/wddx.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="Include/js/jquery.AjaxCFC.js"></ script> <CFOutput><script type="text/javascript"> $.AjaxCFC({require:'#JSIncludeList#'});</script></CFOutput> <script> $(function(){ var v; var $this; var $SSN = $("#SSNID"); var charCode; var keyList = "8,36,37,39,46,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57"; $SSN[0].focus(); $SSN.bind("keypress",function(e){ $this = $(this); v = $this.val(); charCode = (e.which) ? e.which : e.keyCode; //alert(charCode); if(!$.ListFind(keyList,charCode)){ alert(charCode); return false; } else if($.Len(v) > 10 && !$.ListFind(keyList,charCode)){ return false; } else{ //alert($.Len(v)); if(($.Len(v) == 3 || $.Len(v) == 6) && charCode != 8){ $this.val(v + "-"); } } }); }); var CloseButtonImage = "<img src=\"images/closebtn.gif\" style= \"margin:0px; padding:0px; border:0px;\">"; function doSearch(){ var ssn = $("#SSNID").val(); var _ssn = ssn.replace(/[\(\)\- ]/g, ""); var elmLastName, elmFirstName, elmCustomerNumber; if(_ssn.length === 9 && $.IsNumeric(_ssn)){ _ssn = $.Insert("-", _ssn, 3); _ssn = $.Insert("-", _ssn, 6); $.AjaxCFC({ url: "CFC/Customer.cfc", method: "new", data: {"SSN":_ssn}, unnamedargs: false, serialization: "json", success: function(data) { //$.dump(data); if(!data.FOUNDONE){ //alert("Sorry, I was unable to locate a customer with that Social Security Number.\nCheck the number and try again.
