Display user's profile in a lightbox When a user clicks on the "My Account" link I would like the user's profile to show up in a lightbox much like the admin menu overlay works.

I am using Drupal 7.

I am not sure how to do this. My first attempt was to render $user_profile and put it in a lightbox:

&lt;div id="lightbox_this_div"&gt;
   &lt;?php print render($user_profile); ?&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;


but $user_profile is not available in page.tpl.php

Any thoughts? 

EDIT: To be clear I just want to lightbox the content of the user's profile along with the tabs and be able to style the page. So I am not looking to lightbox the entire /user page with the site headers in an iframe style.
you need to "rel" tag in link.

&lt;a href="/user" rel="lightframe[|width:400px; height:300px; scrolling: auto;]"&gt;My Account&lt;/a&gt;




If you want show a specific region then use this.

&lt;a href="/node/xxx #content-inner &gt; *" rel="lightmodal[|width:700px;height:300px;]"&gt;Click to see only the content inside #content-inner&lt;/a&gt;
