It has been over 2 months since I released SimpleModal 1.3 and was waiting to finish the documentation until making an official announcement.
Well, days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, but finally, the new documentation along with a new site design, are available!
It's been a while since I've posted, so I thought I'd provide some updates.
First, I will be offline from Aug 2, 2009 - Aug 8, 2009, so I will not be able to respond to any emails during that time. For questions or issues regarding SimpleModal, please use the jQuery Google Group. For questions or issues regarding SimpleModal Contact Form, please use the WordPress support forum (and make sure to tag your question with simplemodal-contact-form-smcf).
Considering the number of changes and new features, I've decided to release 1.3 as a beta version. This release covers most of the common requests I receive for SimpleModal: forced focus on the dialog (prevent tabbing away), ESC/overlay-click to close dialog and an appendTo option.
*NOTE*: Moving forward, all issue/bug/feature requests should be made on the issues page: http://code.google.com/p/simplemodal/issues/list

Charles found an issue with the validation code - it was requiring a subject even when the subject field was disabled.
A fix has been made and uploaded to the WordPress plugin repository. You should see the update available shortly.
Thanks Charles!

All you need to do is enter the matching link title on the SMCF options page.
I've also modified the email message to use the default wordwrap of 75 characters and have removed the slashes added by magic_quotes.
Translators: Updates were made to the verbiage, so if you would be so kind to update your translations, I'd appreciate it!

Back in August, I blogged about "three fairly significant browser issues" I had encountered while using jQuery. With the release of jQuery 1.3, and subsequent minor versions, I thought I'd take a look back at those browser issues and see if any of them had been resolved.
I meant to release this a few weeks ago - sorry for the delay. This release fixes two IE bugs:
There are a number of fixes and enhancements on my list for the future versions of SimpleModal:

I found out this morning that Monster.com is using SimpleModal to power the modal dialogs on their site! Which, of course, means they are using jQuery too! This is the first major corporate site that I have discovered using SimpleModal, so I was pretty excited when I discovered it.
Funny story on how I found out...
