I'd like to open a webform in a colorbox. Yes, I know there are other methods, but we already use colorbox for many things on this particular site.

I understand the normal way to open a webform for a webform that doesn't take any parameters. However, I'd like to pass a parameter or two to the webform per this: http://drupal.org/node/881226

My question, as you can see from the title, is will additional parameters in my link URL which aren't used by colorbox pass through to the webform module? Does the colorbox module simply parse the arguments list for what it needs and leave the whole thing untouched?

For example: Link text

Thanks.

Use yourmodule_form_alter to get the argument list like $_REQUEST['my-param'] and can alter the webform accordingly

How are you getting Webform to display in a colorbox?
I've tried everything (http://drupal.org/node/940220) I either wind up with: the entire webform node in the colorbox, or a "Forbidden" error.

to show webform you can use

<a class="colorbox-load" href="/colorbox/form/[webform_id]?argument=[argument_name]&width=800">open webform</a>

Use yourmodule_form_alter to get the argument list like $_REQUEST['argument'] and can alter the webform accordingly

For Drupal 7:

<a class="colorbox-load" href="/colorbox/[alias or url of webform]?custom_parameter=value&width=300&height=400">Open form</a>

Excuse me, I'm newbie in php, and I don't know what should I do with yourmodule_form_alter function and how to use $_REQUEST['argument']. Can you help me? I didn't understand "yourmodule" also. What should I write instead of it - colorbox or webform or...? I use drupal 7.
