LinkButton is designed to postback to the current page it is not a link, it is more like a button that looks like a link. Colorbox is designed to open a real link ie an url in a modal dialog. So it would not really make sense to try to use a LinkButton with colorbox just as you cannot use a Button to open a colorbox. If you want to open a page with colorbox just use a normal link.

Hope that helps,

You cannot make that work, post back is a server side event, usually one redirects out of postback after doing whatever processing is required in the post back so that there will be no duplicate postback if the user hits the refresh button on the browser. A LinkButton is more like a button than a link, colorbox can be used for links not linkbuttons, it is client side code (runs in the browser not the server) not server side and cannot be invoked from server side code.

Myself, I never use LinkButton for anything because LinkButton is one of the few .NET controls that does not work if javascript is disabled, it fails to postback. I only use Buttons or Hyperlinks. Hyperlinks do not postback, buttons always postback even if javascript is disabled. It is possible to style a Button to look like a link so there is never a good reason to use LinkButton in my opinion though that is a side topic vs your question about colorbox.

To make a button look like a link in mojoPortal put CssClass="buttonlink". But you still cannot invoke colorbox from server side code.

Hope that helps,
