Hello.
I am a little new to JS and I was wondering if any of you might push me in the right direction with installing GreyBox on my website.

GreyBox (here: http://orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox/) is used as a nifty little pop-up that can show external/internal pages, images, movies, etc. (examples: http://orangoo.com/labs/greybox/examples.html)

In my website, I only want to use it to show external pages (like google.com).
I've read it's documentation (here: http://orangoo.com/labs/GreyBox/Documentation/ ) and so far I understand that to use it, I need to install some javascript on my server and call it from the <head> of my html pages.
That's fine.
I THINK I've installed in properly, but when I call in on my HTML pages it doesn't work.


To install it, I downloaded the files to my computer and then, using an FTP, I uploaded them into my website.
(Below is a picture of my website's file manager. The GreyBox folder was uploaded properly).

The installation procedure (as found here: http://orangoo.com/labs/greybox/installation.html) tells me to append this code in the <header> ...</header> tags:
<script type="text/javascript">
var GB_ROOT_DIR = "http://mydomain.com/greybox/";
</script>
as well as this code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="greybox/AJS.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="greybox/AJS_fx.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="greybox/gb_scripts.js"></script>
<link href="greybox/gb_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And of course I changed the greybox/AJS.js, etc to their proper location of http://mydomain.com/greybox/AJS.js and so on.


So any ideas?
Have I taken a completely erroneous approach to installing GreyBox?
Is there something more fundamental which had to get done?
Is installing GreyBox more difficult than what I expect and should I just give up on it?


Thank you for your help.

Oh never mind, I've figured it out.
I installed it properly, I just had a mistake in my html.
Hahaha!

Anyways, thank you.

What exactly do you mean by "it doesn't work"? Any errors?
Ideally, if it's not confidential, post the real link to your webpage so we can take a look.

You are welcome :-)
