I have created a CCK field which is a simple text field which contains HTML to display a java applet. The questions is how can I get lightbox to display the content of this field? I'm thinking along the lines of modifying the content-field-field_javaapplet.tpl.php but I'm not sure how ligthbox can be called to display the contents of field.

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Maybe try out the patch at #474454: Views lightbox2 custom field handler (update). I'd appreciate more testing of that patch and it sounds like it may solve your problem.

Cheers,

How about ...

creating a view that shows only the specific field you want, in a specific content type, with an arg for the specific nid of the node you want.
Then, give that view a page view, and specific path / alias, somecustomview, for example, and pass a nid argument ... so www.example.com/somecustomview/nid .
And then ... make a custom page template for that page, page-somecustomview.tpl.php, let's say, that strips out everything except a bare bones wrapper for the html that you want to display.
Then, you set the link that triggers your lightbox to something like <a href="/somecustomview/$someVarNameForYourNID" rel="lightmodal">Click me to see stuff</a>

Cheers,
