I’m stuck again. This lightbox code works great when invoked from one of my other pages. But when accessed from option #4 at the bottom of this page I get problems.
http://www.oil-testimonials.com/essential-oils/142
If you click on the link to email to a friend, a nice lightbox appears. If you fill out the information and click the send button, I get a message that is basically a 404 - file not found. There is NOTHING in my script that should cause a 404 to appear. And why does this page work fine when invoked from here:
Please help, I’ve been working on this new lightbox code all day.
Thanks!

Well done. Glad to be of help, even though I only prompted you to solve it yourself!
