Simple Modal Window Using CSS and jQuery

Simple Modal Window Using CSS and jQuery


In this tutorial, I’m going to share how to create a simple attractive light weight modal window with jQuery and CSS. I like jQuery, because it makes everything so simple and so easy.

You can view the working demo here.

Right, let’s start, this example will show you how to create a modal window that will display the content of a DIV using its #ID.

For jQuery, please include jQuery file in your page where you want to use this model window.

1. HTML code 

# <!-- #dialog is the id of a DIV defined in the code below -->
# <a name="modalwindow" href="#open">Open</a>
#
<div>
#
#     <!--You easily customize your window here -->
#
<div class="window">
#         <strong>Testing of Modal Window</strong> |
#
#         <!-- close button is defined as close window -->
#         <a class="close" href="#">Close window</a>
#
#</div>
#
#     <!-- Do not remove div#hide, because you shall need it to fill the whole screen -->
#
#</div>

2. CSS code

 
# /* Z-index of #hide must lower than #container .window */
# #hide {
#   position:absolute;
#   z-index:9000;
#   background-color:#000;
#   display:none;
# }
#
# #container .window {
#   position:absolute;
#   width:440px;
#   height:200px;
#   display:none;
#   z-index:9999;
#   padding:20px;
# }
#
#
# /* Customize your modal window here, you can add background image too */
# #container #openbox {
#   width:375px;
#   height:203px;
# }

3. Jquery code

# $(document).ready(function() {
#
#     //select all the a tag with name equal to modalwindow
#     $('a[name=modalwindow]').click(function(e) {
#         //Cancel the link behavior
#         e.preventDefault();
#         //Get the A tag
#         var id = $(this).attr('href');
#
#         //Get the screen height and width
#         var hideHeight = $(document).height();
#         var hideWidth = $(window).width();
#
#         //Set heigth and width to hide to fill up the whole screen
#         $('#hide').css({'width':hideWidth,'height':hideHeight});
#
#         //transition effect
#         $('#hide').fadeIn(1000);
#         $('#hide').fadeTo("slow",0.8);
#
#         //Get the window height and width
#         var winH = $(window).height();
#         var winW = $(window).width();
#
#         //Set the popup window to center
#         $(id).css('top',  winH/2-$(id).height()/2);
#         $(id).css('left', winW/2-$(id).width()/2);
#
#         //transition effect
#         $(id).fadeIn(2000);
#
#     });
#
#     //if close button is clicked
#     $('.window .close').click(function (e) {
#         //Cancel the link behavior
#         e.preventDefault();
#         $('#hide, .window').hide();
#     });
#
#     //if hide is clicked
#     $('#hide').click(function () {
#         $(this).hide();
#         $('.window').hide();
#     });
#
# });
