Can I block to the window mother until when I do not close the modalbox? Thanks

Is there a way of fading in the modalbox as opposed to sliding it in?

Thanks

ciao first of all many compliments for your modal window implementation, I'm using with Adobe Spry , it works great if I have not to execute some javascript in the popup , but in my application I have inside the popup a spry dataset that isn't executed I also added the parameter evalScript: true but no way

<a href="some_spry.html" title="ready spry dataset" onclick="Modalbox.show(this.href, {title: this.title, width: 600 , evalScript: true} } }); return false;"><strong>ModalWindow?</strong></a>

thanks in advance

I can to hide a flash object when I show my ModalBox? ?

Hi,

It would be great if we could pass some style options like: Modalbox.show(this.href, {title: this.title, style:'margin: 0px'});

Hi,

Since version 1.6.0 for wizard creation you should use <button type="button" onclick="Modalbox.show( 'frame_send-link-done.html', {title:'Sending status', width: 460, height:150}); return false;">Send link</button>.

You are amazing! I've tried two other modal boxes and they both had trouble with form variable submits in wizard mode.

PS. I tried to donate, but it said you weren't allowed donations?

Ditto: Other Modal boxes for use with prototype have too many issues yet. This one rocks. For those interested: I made mine draggable.

new Draggable('MB_window', {handle:'MB_header'} );

i really cant install this :(

how i can disable de "close" option??

@Sir.LuisLara? what i use to do is to deactivate the modalbox with the inactiveFade property disabled. Im not sure if its a best practice but it works for me

aaa

got the modalbox and google maps problem too, now trying the flash version.

When I tab from one input field to the next I get an error:

this.focusableElements.first() is undefined

Any ideas?

aspnet: true causes errors

hi - how do you pass form vars into the modal? ie, have a form submit call the modal and inject form1 vars to be able to be used with the modal form?

thanks!

show modalbox 2s can't update the elements!!!

If I update the contents inside the modalbox using Ajax.Updater how can I adjust the height of modalbox?.resizetocontent and resizetoinclude does not seem to work.When using these, though the height of modalbox increases the scroll bar also appears,as only after updation the resizing works.

Hi dijilraj

waiting for support from the modalbox creators is useless, maybe the code below can help you.

function handlePortfolioResponse(transport) {

var src = ''; var resp = transport.responseText;

var aHtml = resp.split('"');

aHtml.each(function(item) {

if(item.indexOf('jpg')>-1){

src = item;

}

});

var image = new Image(); image.src=src; image.onload = function() {

Modalbox.resizeToContent()

};

how can you open an external website in the modalbox, i have tried this <a href="http://www.google.com" class="demo-btn" title="Click to see the demo" onclick="this.blur(); Modalbox.show(this.href, {title: 'Welcome to ModalBox demo', width: 600, height:600}); return false;"><span>Start Demo</span></a>

thanks

Hi -

I have a page that uses Modalbox to successfully call up a window with a form built in. The submit button has the following code in it that works to keep modal window up and switch to an ASP server side script that processes the form data:

Modalbox.show('store_cart_add_to.asp', {title: 'Sending status', method: 'post', params: Form.serialize('view_details" & trim(cstr(x)) & "'), overlayClose: true }); return false;

BUT I want that page, after it processes the data to cause the modal to hide. So I tried the following change to the submit button code:

Modalbox.show('store_cart_add_to.asp', {title: 'Sending status', method: 'post', params: Form.serialize('view_details" & trim(cstr(x)) & "'), overlayClose: true, beforeShow: Modalbox.hide(); return false; }); return false;

However, now, it will not submit. I tried changing "beforeShow: Modalbox.hide(); return false;" by removing the return false and by changing the "beforeShow" to other things like "beforeLoad", "afterLoad", etc. Nothing seems to work.

Ideas?

Thanks!

oh and... is there any diff between these two syntaxes:

Modalbox.show('page.asp', {title: 'Sending status', method: 'post', params: Form.serialize('view_details'), beforeShow: Modalbox.hide(); return false; }); return false;

AND

Modalbox.show('page.asp', {title: 'Sending status', method: 'post', params: Form.serialize('view_details')}, {beforeShow: Modalbox.hide(); return false; }); return false;

?

Is their a way to make the wizard use images or txt instead of btns. to move to the next step.

Hi, i have a problem width the ModalBox?. When i used the script inside a ajax tab the showmodal is displayed inside of this ajax tab not in the main container page. How i can change the container of the show modal? (Sorry for my english, im from Chile. Cheers)

In Internet Explorer 7 have a problem about can´t move focus when in the modal window target have not a input element. The message is: " Error: Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus."

Thanks!

Try with autoFocusing = false but still have the problem. My solution was add a check if is true the autoFocusing parameter in the line 375, in setFocus:function(). The final function is:

setFocus: function() {

/ Setting focus to the first 'focusable' element which is one with tabindex = 1 or the first in the form loaded. / if(this.focusableElements.length > 0 && this.options.autoFocusing == true) {

var firstEl = this.focusableElements.find(function (el){

return el.tabIndex == 1;

}) || this.focusableElements.first(); this.currFocused = this.focusableElements.toArray().indexOf(firstEl); firstEl.focus(); // Focus on first focusable element except close button

} else if($(this.MBclose).visible() && this.options.autoFocusing == true)

$(this.MBclose).focus(); // If no focusable elements exist focus on close button

}

Hi guys, i noticed that when I use onclick event for the closing of modalbox

<a href="#" title="Close window" onclick="Modalbox.hide(); return false;">Close</a>

there's a noticable delay when the modalbox closes, sometimes it even halts halfway from closing, but not too often though, there are just times when this happens. So I tried changing it to href="javascript:Modalbox.hide()" and it worked fine.

Any of you guys experienced the same?

Wow! This is a life saver (nearly).

Great job & great work, awesome usage of the framework

modalbox 1.5.5 : focus problem solution.

line: 291 old: var firstEl = this.focusableElements.find(function findFirst(el){ chg: var firstEl = this.findFocusableElements(function findFirst(el){

line: 296 old: firstEl.focus(); // Focus on first focusable element except close button chg: this.focusableElementsthis.currFocused?.focus(); // Focus on first focusable element except close button

There was a comment about an error begin received: "this.focusableElements.first() is undefined"

In the function insertContent, it is checking for content type == string. Here there is a hack for Firefox to prevent the content from flickering: if(typeof content == 'string') {

setTimeout(function() { // Hack to disable content flickering in Firefox

this.MBcontent.update(content);

}.bind(this), 1);

This causes the content to not be available when the function findFocusableElements tries to access MBcontent and retreive all focusable elements. Change to just the line:

this.MBcontent.update(content);

I'm using version 1.6.0 date: 12/13/2007 This hack is not in 1.5.5

I hope this helps!

Any chance we can get this modal box to appear dead center of the view port, vs drawing anchored to the top?

hello !! The code works great but i dont't know how to set any information inside the contend!! I use this <a href=" Here i set destionation" title="Simple form" onclick="Modalbox.show(this.href, {title: this.title, width: 600}); return false;">Send link to a friend</a> but nothing hapend, is still blank ??

any one can help me

I could REALLY use some help in hiding a flash gallery underneath the modalbox window. The window content shows, but the flash overlaps some of the window elements and looks ugly. Simply using $("stoopidFlash").hide() and $("stoopidFlash").show() actually remove the flash from it's container and calling the function that placed it there in the first place does nothing.

Ideas?

Hi, is there any way to set a "time out" method or something similar? I need to do this to avoid users waiting for so long if the requested page in modalbox its broken or never loads. Btw i'm using this on a java/struts project. Any idea? Thanks in advance....
