   Hi,
   Great job !

   2 little corrections on your 1.3-b1 version would make it perfect.
   - Line 62, starting with a ';' makes the script easier to minify and concat with others :

   ;(function ($) {
   

   - Line 326, add e.preventDefault(); before calling close function

   else if ((self.opts.close && self.opts.escClose) && e.keyCode == 27) { // ESC
   	e.preventDefault();
   	self.close();
   }
   

   In my case, a $.get in a onClose callback function was interrupted by propagation of event in case of close by ESC key whereas simple click in close box was ok. This patch corrects the trouble.

   Thanks for all, again.

   @Cedric - thanks for the code updates...I'll be sure to add them to 1.3!

   @Coop - you can either set it as a global default with:

   $.modal.defaults.overlayClose = true;
   

   Or as an option:

   $(element).modal({overlayClose:true});

   Hi Eric,

   Great job!

   Say, shouldn't 1.3 line 438 be:
   cw = this.getVal(this.dialog.container.css('width'))

   This will make my current code work with 1.3, else the container will always have the entire window's width.

   @Scooper - are you seeing different results with that change? The only reason I had that for ch was due to browser differences determining height. If you have an example of how your suggestion fixes something, please let me know.

   Have you tried setting the overlayClose option to true?

   $(element).modal({overlayClose:true});

   Is there a way to have this contact form send to different email address based on where it is activated within a site?

    Hi, I've used the smcf plugin here: http://soarhb.dev3.webenabled.net/
    (contact link in the footer)
    but I can't see a close link in the modal window, so there's no way to close the modal window once it pops up. What might be wrong? Thanks.

    Hi,

    it's a great plugin, thanks!

    I have a question : is there a way to use several modal at the same time?
    I need to use a Modal when another Modal is in use (a link in a modal open a new modal on top of the first).

    I have try the following code
    
$.modal('<div>my data</div>', {});
$.modal('<div>my data2</div>', {});


    but only the first Modal is create. So, is there a way to deal with my need.

    @Nico - currently, SimpleModal does not support multiple dialogs open at the same time. I've been getting enough requests that I'll consider adding it in a future version.

    @John - sure, but it would require some custom coding. If you like, you contact me via email to discuss it further.

    @Srijan - the cancel button closes the dialog.

    Hi,
    first of all, thank you for this plugin, great work.

    Is there a way to have "send me a copy" set up a default and if where I would have to make changes.

    Right now it has to be clicked by the sender.

    Thank you in advance

    If you are using the WordPress plugin, you'll need to open smcf.php and modify the checkbox code to look like:

    <input type='checkbox' id='smcf-cc' name='cc' value='1' tabindex='1005' checked='checked'/>

    Hey! it is a nice script.
    Has this script been released under LGPL??
    Can anyone use it for the commercial use also??

    Kindly confirm asap.
    Thanks :-)

    @Ankit - the license terms are in included in the script. SimpleModal is released under the same terms as jQuery (dual licensed under the MIT and GPL licenses).

    Hi, Eric.
    First thanks for that great plugin.
    Are you expecting to do it draggable? When I open the modal I do it in the centre. If the screen size is not enough high when I scroll down I can't see the buttons that the modal has in the bottom, any suggestion?

    Many thanks ;)
    kiumo.

    I've tried with jquery.ui draggable and it works. Just import ui.core, ui.draggable jquery scritps and make the containerId of your simplemodal draggable()!
    $('#confirm-container').draggable();

    Thanks,

    Hi Eric - this is a great plugin thanks for creating and sharing it.

    I might be missing something obvious or it could well just be my HTML. I'm using the modal window for a terms and conditions 'popup' with a fairly lengthy amount of content, when the modal window shows it all scrolls well but starts right at the bottom of the content. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.
