Hi,  
I’m using lightbox.js for displaying chromeless popup windows.  
I have a main page on which I have javascript\_include\_tag and  
stylesheet\_link\_tag to include lightbox.  
Calls to the lightbox popups from this main page work perfectly…  
But…calls to the lightbox popups from pages which are called by  
ajax(using link\_to\_remote) from the main page do not work… ☹  
They work like simple link\_to’s.  
Even if I write the javascript\_include\_tag and stylesheet\_link\_tag to  
include lightbox again in the ajax pages…it does not work…!!!  
Can someone please tell me how do solve this…  
Thank you…
