If you don’t know what Facebox is, it’s a jQuery modal plugin, that is very sleek and resembles the modal from facebook.com, simple enough.

The purpose of these instructions is to be able to create a simple form in html, that uses php to post data to another remote page. In otherwords pass a variable to another website. Which is simple, but how can this be accomplished with Facebox?

Here is my example code:

manageForms.php – this is an excerpt of form manager script I wrote for a client, this is the code for the actions panel. There is a decrypt form submission option since the data submitted is encoded in the mysql database.

Now here is the simple little ajax code to include, to make the decrypt form above post it’s ‘id’ variable to facebox.

Here is how the code works, I created a function called decrypt_form() all this does is execute the code when it is called, which I called it through the button on the form. Next is to use the facebox function, and within that do a simple ajax post method. in data: this is where you will put the variable you want to post from the form, in my case is is ‘id’. Skip error, well change the error message to whatever you like. Keep success the same, and of course your type is ‘post’, and change the URL to whatever php file you had in the forms action.

Simple enough

Ok, now if you are having trouble just post a comment, but that should cover the how-to. If not here is the decryptAndShow.php a small excerpt of code:

Here is the shorter Mannie Fresh version with different clips not seen in the original. It’s HELLA DOPE! (yeah Elaine, I’m bringing DOPE back, word!). Anyways it’s called Breaking Point.

The low-risk virus was detected on July 25, but did not infect the space station’s command and control computers and poses no threat to the orbiting laboratory, NASA officials said.

“This is basically a nuisance,” NASA spokesperson Kelly Humphries told SPACE.com from the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

According to a NASA planning document obtained by SPACE.com, the worm was identified as W32.Gammima.AG. The California-based retail anti-virus software manufacturer Symantec describes it as a Windows-based worm which spreads by copying itself onto removable media. It is capable of stealing passwords for online games and is classified as a very low risk, according to Symantec’s Web site.

Humphries said that while NASA security protocols prohibit discussing details of the virus and efforts to combat it, a search is under way to find out how it got on board the space station more than 200 miles (321 km) above Earth.

“We’ll do our best to track down how it got there and close that gateway,” Humphries said. “This is not a frequent occurrence, but we have had viruses that have made their way on board before.”

New flash memory cards due to launch to the station aboard a Russian cargo ship next month have been screened for the virus, the NASA document stated. Not all of the 71 laptop computers currently aboard the station run Windows, and those that do and are vulnerable to viruses could be updated.

The space station is currently home to three astronauts: Russian cosmonaut commander Sergei Volkov, cosmonaut flight engineer Oleg Kononenko and NASA flight engineer Greg Chamitoff. Volkov and Kononenko are due to return to Earth in October, while Chamitoff is slated to stay until his replacement arrives during NASA’s planned November space shuttle mission.
