   I can't get overlayClose:true to work. Pressing the ESC key doesn't close the dialog either. I am using the onClose option...

   Is there a way to detect a click on the overlay or ESC key and call the $.modal.clode(); somehow inside the onClose option?

   @Roman - do you have a link I can see? Make sure you aren't using the close:false option. The onClose should not have any impact on the events that trigger the close.

   To your second question, you'd want to use the onShow callback to do any binding - the onClose should just be used to do closing animations or any other manipulations to the dialog elements or data.

   Of Course, I had close set to false. No idea why, I must have copied it from somewhere. When it's set to true everything is working as it should!

   Thanks.

   Hi, i need confirm close event and I have a problem. I make this code:

   if (confirm("Realy close?")){
     	                 dialog.data.fadeOut('slow', function () {
                         dialog.container.slideUp('slow', function () {
     			               dialog.overlay.fadeOut('slow', function () {
     				              $.modal.close(); 
     			               });
     		                });
     	                 }); 
                       }
   

   It works at first time, but when i click on close button second time, onClose event in not done. Can you help me? Thanks

   @Jirka - sounds like an event binding issue. Can you send me a link or more sample code?

   Is it possible to change the click event of the No button to do some action rather than simply close the dialog? I have the Yes forwarding the page to another URL, and I want the No button to forward the page to a second URL.

   @Dale - You'll need to do the following:

   * Remove the simplemodal-close class from the "no" div
   * Modify the confirm function to accept an argument
   * Modify the "yes click" logic to handle both cases

   Code:

   // new confirm function
   confirm("blah blah", function (url) {
   	window.location.href = url;
   });
   
   
   // "yes click" replacement code
   $('.buttons div', dialog.data[0]).click(function () {
   	// call the callback
   	if ($.isFunction(callback)) {
   		if ($(this).is('.yes')) {
   			callback.apply(this, ['http://www.site1.com/']);
   		}
   		else {
   			callback.apply(this, ['http://www.site1.com/']);
   		}
   	}
   	// close the dialog
   	$.modal.close();
   });

   If there is a list of emails in the page, is it possible to send from each link
   x1@yy.com
   x2@yy.com, a variable to contact.php, containing the email address corresponding to each link?

    @calin c - you could add a unique id to each link and then use that id to lookup an email from an array.

    You can contact me directly if you need implementation help.

    I love SimpleModal and it is much preferable to all those contact form plugins I have seen. I really don't like embeding those forms into my pages and prefer the modal concept. However, like Calin C, I would like to be able to use SimpleModal to send emails to various email addresses rather than listing the actual email addresses on my blog where they can be harvested by spammers. There are numerous email addresses I need to use, all using the same domain name. What I would like to do is somehow use the smc-link to tell it which email address to send the email to. Something like these:

    <a href="/contact/webmaster">Contact</a>
    <a href="/contact/info">Contact</a>
    <a href="/contact/submissions">Contact</a>

    Is something like this possible? I use wordpress extensively but I am not really that up on coding so I haven't the slightest idea how to go about doing something like this. Can you help?

    @Edward Kelley - what you are asking is possible, but it would require some changes to the smcf.js file and the smcf_data.php file.

    You could do something like:
    <a href="/contact/webmaster" rel="webmaster">Contact</a>
    <a href="/contact/info" rel="info">Contact</a>
    <a href="/contact/submissions" rel="submissions">Contact</a>

    Then access the rel value in smcf.js and send it to smcf_data.php. Then in smcf_data.php, use that value to lookup or create the desired "to" email.

    Eric, that would be nice! I think it is beyond my skills though. I am disabled and suffer from a degenerative nerve disease that has impacted my cognitive abilities. I was once an excellent programmer who worked for AT&T.

    I've volunteered my time and what's left of my abilities to my old boarding school. HTML, CSS and a smattering of php is about all I am capable of these days and even that takes me a lot of time. I'd be lost without wordpress plugins! lol

    I'll ponder your suggestion and see if my brain can wrap around it. Thanks for the suggestion and your time!
