Hi all i want to be able to close fancyBox when it is open from within.

I have tried the following but to no avail:

function closeFancyBox(html){
    var re = /.*Element insert complete!.*/gi;
    if( html.search( re ) == 0 ){
        $.fancybox.close();
        //alert("foo");
    }
}

foo will open in dialog but will not close down. any hints?

It is no use putting the .fn, it will reffers to the prototype.
What you need to do is $.fancybox.close();

The thing is that you are maybe experiencing another error from js.
There are any errors on screen?
Is your fancybox and jquery the latest releases? jquery is currently in 1.4.1 and fb in 1.3 something

Experiment putting a link inside the fancybox and put that function in it.

You probably had read that, but in any case, http://fancybox.net/api

One thing that you probably might need to do is isolate each part in order to realize what it is.
