 * Hi,
 * In the lightbox, I’m using a form for the user to upload a file. After upload
   a success/failure message should be displayed, but the lightbox closes after 
   the “submit” button is clicked.
 * Can anyone tell me how to keep the lightbox open until either the message is 
   displayed or the user clicks the “close” link?
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * Thanks,
 * Cathy
