@response-guy - I assume that you comment is just spam, but I'm not sure, so I thought I'd let it through.

First, sure an iframe *could* be a security risk, but since you are the developer controlling the code/site, I don't see how that concern is relevant here. Second, what iframe issues are you talking about? Third, this post is from last year.

So, if you are a real person with real questions/concerns, please clarify.

I agree with CharnaD. iframes are seen as a security risk these days. I love simplemodal but don't really use it because of the iframes issue.

@CharnaD - Can you elaborate on "iframes are not allowed due to the W3C standards"? If it is an issue, the iframe can be "turned off" using the iframe option:

$.modal.defaults.iframe = false;

Or:

jQueryObject.modal({iframe: false});

The reason for using the iframe is to prevent object bleed-through. Also, the iframe is always used for IE6 to prevent form element bleed-through. There are always other ways, but using an iframe seems to be the "easiest" ;) I appreciate your comments/feedback!

Iframes are not allowed due to W3C standards. May be you should find another way, cause people who try to follow W3C will avoid your plugin.

i'll post some more comments when i test it
