Magnific Popup: Is Ajax content indexed by Google? (SEO) - ajax

I'm planning to modernize the photo gallery on my website. Currently I use the Colorbox plugin to open the large image and legend in a lightbox after clicking on a thumbnail. Google indexes the pictures and legends yet optimal.
My new photo gallery should be responsive and I want to show not only the photo and legend inside of the lightbox, but also further information like date, location, camera, tags, etc. That's why I will use the Ajax option rather than the standard gallery option of the lightbox plugin.
The thumbnails are compiled dynamically based on filtering and sorting settings and the information about the photos is stored in a database. So I will use a PHP script to get the necessary information and to set up the HTML code for the Ajax call dynamically. That should be no problem.
My question is: Will the contents that is loaded via Ajax in the Magnific Popup be indexed by Google?
Unfortunately I do not think so, because if I make a Google search for a part of the text which is displayed in the Ajax Lightbox on http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/, this page does not appear in the Google results...
Is there a solution? Or can you recommend another responsive Lightbox wherein the Ajax content will be indexed?
Thank you for any suggestion!

Image Hosting Website Script Deactivates FancyBox Capability

I'm running a Vanilla Forum with a FileUpload plugin, allowing users to upload images and insert the corresponding code directly into the body of their post. These images work with FancyBox when clicked, linking together nicely within the page. However, should a user use a third-party image hosting site (i.e. Imagevenue, Imageshack, Postimage.org) and copy and paste the resulting image code, it deactivates the FancyBox feature associated with all images previously on the page, so when you click on an image uploaded via FileUpload it opens in a new window now instead of in a FancyBox.
My question is one of two things:
a) Is it possible to fix this formatting issue so that if a user does choose to use a third-party image hosting service then it will not affect the fancybox of my previous images.
or
b) Is it possible to block this type of image code from being inputted in the body of a post to prevent this from ever happening.
Thank you and please reply if you would like more information!
Most likely the generated code from those third-party hosting sites has not an image extension (JPG, PNG, GIF) so fancybox doesn't know what type of content needs to handle.
If you are binding fancybox like
$(".fancybox").fancybox();
... you could force the type of content to image like
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
type : "image"
});
I don't really see how pasting the code of a new image will disable the code for existing ones if you want to elaborate.

Ajax update of google gadget

We are embedding a Forex charting google gadget to display stock data into a web page.
<script src="//www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/100840413740199312943/stock-charts.xml&ampteh names;up_stockList=CSCO&up_chart_period=1&synd=open&w=280&h=140&title=&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script>
The user can change language on the site (by clicking a flag image), which sends an ajax request that returns the body content of the page in the appropriate language (including the link to the gadget).
The problem we have is that the page updates fine but the chart gadget disappears.
Should setting the innerHTML re-load the gadget, or do we have to exec it somehow when the page is returned?

Load link,href,hyperlink,url in a lightbox or a frame on the current page with refresh the whole page

I am new to AJAX,
I want to have a javascript that will make all the link(include webpage,internal link, external link) load in a lightbox when clicked. Just like Facebook, when you click the photo, it will give you a frame , without redirect you to the photo page.
Overall, I want my user to click on ANY link of my website do not redirect to a new page which need to refresh the whole page.
I want the link to be load in a frame on demand, also know as AJAX right?
Actually I just want to know this technique is called as what?? Any google search term ?? searching queries??
Any recommend article or tutorial to do this?
AJAX: Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. Your example isn't AJAX, but rather it's using JavaScript to do event binding that causes actions to take place in response to events made by the user in the browser.
You could use jQuery to bind an event to all the links of a certain type on a page. The exact implementation will depend on your HTML markup.
If, for example, you have several images wrapped in link tags:
<img src="image1.jpg" />
<img src="image2.jpg" />
You could have jQuery similar to the following (be sure to load jQuery prior to this in the page):
<script>
$('.image_link').click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); // stops it from doing normal link action
// and then down here you'd need JS for your lightbox library
});
</script>

URL Change without loading whole page in mvc3

I am working on classified ads project in asp.net mvc3. I am facing problem in filter search page I want to change the URL without loading the whole page like Facebook or Linkedin before change:
http://localhost:4847/Category/Clothing/
after change when user remove category:
http://localhost:4847/Category/
And when user select category it should be change to append category as I show on top.
I am using ajax for filter search
You can make use of the Html5 History API
Anyway this is an Html5 feature and not all browsers may support it. In this case I would suggest directly using a plugin that degrades to hash changes if not supported, like History.js
This is fundamentally the same question as how to fix the browser history back-forward buttons. Checkout What is the best back button jQuery plugin?, it really could help you alot!

Back button with ajax and iframe

Here is a situation. We have a search feature which uses ajax so that search results can be updated when user changes one of the search filters. The search results page also has 3 ad units that are using iframes. We are using iframes so that when usees use pagination to go different pages or update search results using search filters, the ads can be refreshed.
Now the problem is if user uses pagination to go to different pages and then try to use browser back button, it does not work properly because when you change iframe source, browser add this in history
I would apprecaite any help on how to solve this issue.
You may want to consider loading ads dynamically (i.e. AJAX), instead of using iframes. So, you would simply use a <div> to display the ad (loaded with AJAX) instead of an <iframe>.
Mayby try location.replace("http://yourPage...") to replace the browsers last history entry after iFrame load?
