When using Elgg 1.8 it was possible to show up a lightbox with information stored in a (hidden) div on the same page:

echo elgg_view('output/url', array('href' => '#my_link', 'class' => 'elgg-lightbox', 'text' => 'click here'))
. "<div class='hidden'><span id='my_link'>"
. elgg_view_module('info', 'title', 'this is my text') . "</span></div>";

With a click on the link only the info-module was shown.

Since I'm trying Elgg 1.9 the behavior is an other one: Now a click opens the whole page again, embedded in the lightbox-frame. I'm not really sure if this is a bug or even the way I'm trying to place the information into a lightbox-frame. Sure, it is possible to make a new view for the content, but in this case the view have to be reached via a url/href (e.g. via copy/paste into the browser url), which I don't want.

Is it possible to get back the old behavior to store the information for a lightbox-frame?

Thanks a lot for any help!
