Won't work in an iframe

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to use the dropdowncheckbox in an iframe.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should work.  Instead, it is creating the control, but not populating.

Can you please send a small html page where the problem can be reproduced? 
Thanks.

Hmm, I guess this is more of an issue inside Fancybox.  I assumed it was 
because of
the iframe, but after some testing, it looks like I was wrong.  If you could 
take a
quick look at it, I'd appreciate it.

works ok in opera and chrome but not in ie
if you change index.html to include directly the iframe (without fancybox) like:

<iframe src="iframe.htm"></iframe>

it works ok in ie also. So definitely is a problem with ddcl and fancybox 
working together.

I'm using Firefox, and using Fancybox, the dropdown renders, but there are no 
options.

The problem is caused by the fact that $(document).ready does not really work 
the same 
for iframes as for the normal documents. The DOM elements are not initialized 
when 
ready is called. 

A simple (and not recommended) way to avoid this is to use a small timeout so 
instead 
of:

$("#i1").dropdownchecklist()

use:

setTimeout(function() {$("#i1").dropdownchecklist()}, 100);

A better way is to use something like frameReady plugin:
