Write Your Own Modal Window Script

ModalWindow’s are pretty popular things these days. And they aren’t very difficult to do. In-fact, I would have to say that they are easier to do by hand, then to do by JavaScript inclusion. That could depend on how complex of a Modal Window you are trying to make, but take a look at the following script. The number of problems to solve are not that cumbersome. With this, you can click here and get a pop up modal window. You can also add the modal source yourself, that way you can configure whatever HTML you would like inside of it, in this particular example, I am using jQuery DOM manipulation because I have this setup as a plugin for another site that I am working on. Just tag the “modalClick” class to the link and Enjoy!

Example Modal Window Link

$this->performHighlight(‘


‘, ‘html’, $content);
