The problem

ThickBox does not work when the HTML pages has other JavaScript libraries such as Mootools.

Debuging the error reveals this:

$(domChunk) is null

The solution

  1. Add this JavaScript in your page, just after you load the jQuery JavaScript-jQuery.noConflict();
  2. Replace every instances of ‘$’ with ‘jQuery’ in thickbox.js

This will make jQuery and ThinkBox play nice with other JavaScript libraries.
