Fancybox iframe sizing

UI Questions

Hello:

I am trying to automatically set the width and height of the fancybox iframe to numbers inputted by user. Below is my code:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$(".iframe").fancybox({
'width' : $(this).attr('width'),
'height' : $(this).attr('height')
});
});
</script>

<ul>
foreach(var video in mainVideos)
{
<li><a href="@video.videoUrl" class="iframe" width="@video.Width" height="@video.Height"></li>
}
</ul>

I realize that "width" and "height" has no meaning for anchors, but in this case, I'm just using them as attributes to hold numbers. For some reason, in the javascript, if I replace the attributes with the actual numbers, it works fine. But once I start using jquery to reference the dimensions, it does not read it. I know the numbers exist though, because when I alert($ (this).attr('height') ), it shows up.

Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Jeff

Don't know a lot about jQuery. Could you post your example with hard coded values that works? Maybe I can see what's different. I used this a while back in Umbraco 5 for the Modal:

// popup buttons
$("#submit_Popup").click(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    var width = $(parent.window).width() - 140;
    var height =  $(parent.window).height() - 100;

    // Show tree modal window
    $u.Sys.WindowManager.getInstance().showModal({
        title: "Choose",
        isGlobal: true,
        forceContentInIFrame: false,
        modalStyle: "width:" + width + "px;height:" + height + "px;",
        content: "#popup-section-dialog",
        removeOnHide: false
    });

});
