jquery - Fancybox iframe is blank

Question

so i have downloaded the fancybox zip and added it to my site. when i go to the demos area, everything is working fine with the exception of the iframe. i havent edited the code in anyway. it works perfectly on their site, so im not sure why it would be any different on mine. i have searched through this site and others and have came up with nothing. again i have not edited any of the code, i simply unzipped it and pushed it to my server. any ideas?

This is not a fancybox issue.

The demo file included in the fancybox download, targets the jQuery site for the iframe sample .... but today most mayor sites like google, yahoo, and others etc. (and now jQuery too) don't allow themselves to be contained within iframes. I guess the demo file is outdated.

If you can place any web site within a regular html iframe (like your own or any other you create for instance), then you can open it with fancybox too. Check this demo and see it for yourself ... notice what iframes are "blank".
