@all - sorry for the lack of responses...between work and a week long vacation, I've been a little busy ;) After this, I'll be closing the comments on this page. For support, you can use the jQuery mailing-list or contact me directly. @Andes - you shouldn't have to install anything, but it does need to be used through a web server, as it makes an Ajax call to a PHP file. I've seen the issue you are talking about with the WordPress SMCF plugin, but not with the Contact Demo. If you have a link that I can view, let me know. @Armando - sounds like something is not setup correctly. I tried to view the link, but the site doesn't appear to be up. @denis - sounds like an issue with your code. Could be a conflict or any number of things, but without seeing what you have, it's hard to tell. @Simon C - thanks! As for the IE8 issue, it looks like it might be an issue with the jQuery opacity function, but I haven't had time to look into it any further. Since IE8 is in early beta, I wouldn't worry about it too much...I'm sure either IE or jQuery will get it sorted out ;) @Konstantin - interesting. Sounds like it's maybe an issue with something on your site? @Jim - if I understand you correctly, you'd probably have to modify the code to accept an "option" of where to append the overlay (and/or iframe). For example (untested), you could call SimpleModal with:

$.modal({target: selector})

And then modify the src, changing the following part in the this.dialog.overlay and this.dialog.iframe .appendTo('body'); to:

.appendTo(this.options.target ? this.options.target : 'body')

@Shawn - try using SWFObject like Asle did. To your second question, have you tried $.getScript? @Percy - do you have a link? It sounds like an issue with your site/code...

Also, is there a way to dynamically load the script that controls the dialog (contact.js for example) on a button click instead of loading each .js file on initial page load?

Thanks.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the plugin. Very nice work! I have implemented it on a page with a flash movie. I am using the CSS for the contact form dialog. When the modal box appears it is below the SWF. I set the z-index of the swf to -999 but it still shows up below the movie. Do you know happen to know a fix?

Sorry. Here's the code:
var overlayDiv = jQuery("#srgModalOverlay", top.document); if(overlayDiv == null || overlayDiv.length == 0) { jQuery("div#portalOuterContainer", top.document).append("\n

\n");

}

I am writing a page that appears in an iframe within another page. The iframe with my page usually has a scroll bar. The top window does not. I'd like to have an overlay cover the document in top window instead of the document within the iframe. I can insert a div in the top frame like this:
var overlayDiv = jQuery("#srgModalOverlay", top.document); if(overlayDiv == null) { jQuery("div#portalOuterContainer", top.document).append("\n\n"); } else if(overlayDiv.length == 0) { jQuery("div#portalOuterContainer", top.document).append("\n\n"); }
From my document, is there a way to launch the modal dialog in the document that contains the iframe?

Thanks.

Jim

Hi,

That code help me to solve my problem.

body { background: url('/images/spacer.gif') no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; }

In IE script working not so fast than in FF, but better and faster, than earlier.

Thx.

Eric, your plugin is awesome. It's helped me learned a lot about JS and jQuery in general.

Got a question (for both Eric and anyone else who might know). In IE8, when I call modal(), the background opacity is complete no matter what I set it at. I've tried this with a couple of other jQuery plugins and had the same result. Is this something deeper in the framework that is causing this or a bug of IE8 with modals?

I went to Facebook to see if it was affecting all modals, and it was not.

If anyone has any insights into this problem, let me know!

Cheers,
Simon

Hi, thank for your great piece of code. I'm currently using it with success in a page of my site, but I've a problem with another one, occuring only in IE7. The source code for a test page reproducing the error is the follow:


Test


Pagina di prova con popup













function avviaPopup(){
$('#basicModalContent').modal();
}

Every time I try to open the page, IE7 complains about an error on line 19. I'm not able to overtake this problem, can you help me on this issue ? Thank you, Denis
