Prior to the 3.3 beta 3 I used thickbox on the front end with the below script. Since beta 3 the lightbox has stopped working. Is there an error in my code or did the function change?

function add_themescript(){
    if(!is_admin()){
    wp_enqueue_script('thickbox',null,array('jquery'));
    wp_enqueue_style('thickbox.css', '/'.WPINC.'/js/thickbox/thickbox.css', null, '1.0');
    }

}
add_action('init','add_themescript');

Is the thickbox script being included in the markup on the frontend? – Tom J Nowell Nov 16 '11 at 17:19
Does it throw an error? – Pippin Nov 17 '11 at 4:33
Yes, the css and the js are included. No errors are evident. It just does not work. – mattrepublic Nov 17 '11 at 18:46
Here is code that works in 3.3. – toscho♦ Feb 17 '12 at 10:55

This is possibly related to an issue in Wordpress regarding cache that has just been fixed within the last hour:

Here's the Trac ticket:

Clearing your cache may help in the meantime before beta 4/RC1

Thanks Tom. Clearing the cache didn't help but hopefully the patch will fix it. – mattrepublic Nov 17 '11 at 18:47

WP 3.3 uses jQuery 1.7. It's possible that the thickbox script doesn't work with 1.7. I know some other scripts, such as the popular Nivo Slider, have had problems with it already.

but the built in media uploader works with that version of jQuery and ThickBox – Bainternet♦ Nov 16 '11 at 23:15
Good call there. – Pippin Nov 17 '11 at 4:32
