Simple popup css window. How to make a modal with css. jQuery plugin "ToastMessage"

In the article about creating a modal window on css, we have analyzed what a modal window is and why it is needed. And also created a window using only css. In this article, I will describe how to create a javascript modal window. More specifically, we will use the jquery library to create.

And so let's start creating a modal window on jquery. To complicate the problem, we set the following condition. We will need to create a responsive modal window. And adaptability will mean that the window will also decrease when the screen size is reduced. Let's start creating a jquery adaptive modal window with html markup.

With the code, I think everything is clear. We have a .wraper, where the content of our site is located. There is a button for calling a modal window with the id gowindow, the window itself with the id modal_window and the overlay layer myoverlay. Let's write css styles now.

Wraper ( width: 100%; margin: auto; width: auto;/*same as 100%*/ max-width: 960px;/*max wrapper width*/ border: 1px solid #000; background-color: # F5F9FB; ) .button( /*-------*/ ) #modal_window ( width: 34%;/*for responsiveness*/ height: 300px; border-radius: 10px; border: 3px #fff solid; background : #e0e0e0; margin-top: -30%; margin-left: 33%; display: none; opacity: 0; /*fully transparent for animation */ z-index: 5000; /*window must be top layer*/ padding-top: 20px; text-align: center; position: relative; ) #modal_window #window_close ( width: 21px; height: 21px; position: absolute; top: 10px; right: 10px; cursor: pointer; display: block; ) #myoverlay ( z-index: 3000; /*above all layers but below the window */ position: fixed; /*to overlay the site*/ background-color: #000; opacity: 0.5; width: 100%; height: 100 %; /*full screen */ top: 0; left: 0; cursor: pointer; display: none; )

Let's describe the css code. We set the .wraper block to be adaptive, it changes depending on the screen size but no more than 960px. I will not show the button code. The width of the #modal_window window is set as a percentage, the width will depend on the width of the .wraper. To center the window, set the margin to 33%. It is calculated as 50%-17%, where 17% is half the width of the window. We hide the window with the display: none and opacity: 0 properties. With the #window_close and #myoverlay code, I think everything is clear. Let's now write the code for jquery. We will assume that jquery is already connected.

$(document).ready(function() ( $("#gowindow").click(function()(//click the button $("#myoverlay").fadeIn(400, //show the overlay layer function() ( $("#modal_window") .css("display", "block") // make the window visible. animate((opacity: 1, top: "50%"), 200); moves out )); )); /* remove the window */ $("#window_close, #myoverlay").click(function()( //clicking on the overlay or cross $("#modal_window") .animate((opacity : 0, top: "45%"), 200, //on transparency, window goes up function()( $(this).css("display", "none"); //make the window invisible $("# myoverlay"). fadeOut(400); //remove the overlay layer )); )); ));

Js code, I think, does not need an explanation, since I commented it quite well. That's all I think, so let's summarize. We made a simple jquery responsive modal

Hello everyone. I looked closely at the statistics of the blog here the other day and found that examples of creating modal windows are of greater interest to our Internet workers. The most popular solutions were to implement pop-up windows without the use of javascript, exclusively on pure .
During my work, I have accumulated a lot of interesting solutions, which at different times I described in detail in detailed articles on the pages of my blog, but many of these lessons eventually faded into the background. Blog readers can sometimes find it difficult to navigate and most of the workable methods for creating spectacular modals and pop-up forms simply go unnoticed.
Therefore, taking into account the interest of users in this issue, I decided to combine all the lessons and examples on this topic and display a collection of modal windows and forms in a separate article. It turned out a small overview with a brief description, links to examples and articles. So look, study, and if someone likes any of the solutions, feel free to take the source code, and create, create, create...

The most popular, among the readers of my blog, method of creating modal windows. Very easy to implement. The formation of the appearance of pop-up blocks and all the functionality are based solely on CSS3, without Javascript and additional graphic elements.
The ability to connect and display modal windows on almost any site. It is enough to correctly place the html-frame in the right place, add the content you need, connect styles, link the whole thing to an activating button or any other element of the site (pictures, menu items, links, a single word in the text, etc.) and that's all , ready to go.

A very simple, lightweight jQuery plugin, with which you can quickly and easily implement the display of modal modal windows on your site with any information, be it plain text, pictures, various forms or embedded video.
The appearance is formed using CSS, the window size is set directly in the link, in the href="#?w=500" attribute, where #?w=500 specifies the required window width. However, after studying the details of the lesson, everything will become very clear. For this solution to work, the jQuery library connected to the site is required.

Initially, the lesson was conceived specifically about the absolute centering of block elements with content, but so much has been written about this that I decided to dilute the theme with adaptability and impose it all on a modal window, while using only CSS tools. What came of it, you can find out by studying the lesson.

Quite a fresh method for implementing pop-up (modal) windows. I often used hidden checkboxes to create drop-down information blocks or "". As a result, everything turned out to be very simple, with the help of CSS3 and the syntactic features of HTML5, you can easily organize the work of modal windows. I didn’t focus too much on the design (that’s not the whole point), I took the example of Bootstrap info blocks as the initial one. The method works fine in all modern browsers, users stuck on mossy versions of IE unfortunately fly by.

The theme of organizing video viewing in a modal block does not give me rest, exclusively using CSS3, without javascript. No, everything is in order with the output of the video in the modal window, I can not find an adequate and suitable solution for stopping the video when the window is closed. Stupidly used a link with an empty href="" attribute, many flared artisans turn in their sleep from this not quite kosher method, but I have not yet found another more effective and valid solution.

I was often asked if it is possible to embed some kind of slider inside the modal window, not only for pictures, but also for text. Why not. The bourgeois found a simple content rotator suitable in all respects, it remained to combine it with a ready-made modal window. And in the end, what happened :)). Look, it's pretty easy to do.

Many sites use pop-up feedback forms, registration and login forms. The easiest way is to embed a working form in a ready-made modal window. It takes quite a decent form, laid out in CSS3, any version of the modal window presented above, it remains only to combine both of these elements into a single mechanism. How to do it? This is exactly what is described in detail in the presented lesson.

A great opportunity for your users to send messages from any page, or a separate site (blog) entry is a separate, modal contact form. Correctly fasten the php handler to the form, place the page you need in the body and that's it, all that remains is to periodically check your mailbox. This method works correctly in all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, as well as in Internet Explorer, starting from the 9th version. The form itself is modalized with the magic of CSS3.

A lightbox is a kind of the same modal window, or rather, the principle of operation is almost the same, although it is used for the most part to view enlarged or full-size images. At one time, I decided to close up a more or less adaptive version of Lightbox, exclusively using CSS3. You can find out what came of this by looking at an example and if the topic inserts, study the lesson. Users heavily addicted to IE 8 and below will unfortunately not see anything, the method is based on the use of the pseudo-class:target .

An interesting (in my opinion) solution to create a separate, originally designed, pop-up contact form for the site. The operation of the form is based on the handling of the onclick event. Registration using the original image in the form of a postal envelope. The form works quickly and correctly in all browsers, so it is quite a worthy example of user interaction tools.

I, as well as many others, are frozen by various pop-ups at the initial loading of the site. I find this approach to be overly intrusive. But the chip is in demand and widely used, which means it’s probably still worth seeing how the whole thing works. All modern browsers are suspicious of all sorts of pop-up windows at the initial stage of loading the site, they simply block them. In the presented lesson, I describe in detail how this blocking can be bypassed, you will also learn how to use cookies correctly so that the window appears to the user once when they first visit the site, or at a certain interval.

That's probably all. Of course, there are a couple more working options for creating modal windows in the cache, but there are a lot of them on the Internet, the main thing is to find what you need. I hope this selection will help you navigate the topic in a pile of articles on my blog. As successful excavations and finding lost material, the review will be updated.

With all respect, Andrew

A modal window is a container that, when a link is clicked, pops up and provides some information. I think many are already familiar with it, but if not, look at the demo version to understand what it is. Now there are a huge number of them and each works in its own way. For example, there are completely standard ones that ask you to perform some kind of action, in this example, confirmation. Or, for example, another option, when you first enter the site, which will actually fit various subscriptions to groups in social networks. There are modal windows on clean css, well, I would like to take this share JavaScript, since it is more interesting on it and works well in all browsers.

STEP ONE. JavaScript code.

To launch a modal window, you need to pass a value to the function window.onload. In which we will pass two elements of the identifier " a" And " b".

//pass elements by id "a" and "b" window.onload = function() ( a = document.getElementById("a"); b = document.getElementById("b"); )

We then write the function " show A", which will show a modal window and pass to elements " a" And " b" styles, namely, we set the transparency, width and blocking of the window if the link was not clicked " open".

//show the "showA" function window function showA() ( //Set the transparency and block the display //of the "b" element b.style.filter = "alpha(opacity=80)"; b.style.opacity = 0.8; b .style.display = "block"; // Set blocking and top padding to 200px //of element "a" a.style.display = "block"; a.style.top = "200px"; )

After opening the modal window, we need to somehow close or hide it later, for this we write the function " hideA", which will hide the modal window and set styles for the elements " a" And " b".

//Call the "hideA" function, which will hide the //window for the "a" and "b" elements function hideA() ( b.style.display = "none"; a.style.display = "none"; )

Full code.

//pass elements by id "a" and "b" window.onload = function() ( a = document.getElementById("a"); b = document.getElementById("b"); ) //show the function window " showA" function showA() ( //Set the transparency and block the display //of the "b" element b.style.filter = "alpha(opacity=80)"; b.style.opacity = 0.8; b.style.display = " block"; // Set blocking and top padding to 200px //of "a" element a.style.display = "block"; a.style.top = "200px"; ) //Call "hideA" function, which will hide //window for elements "a" and "b" function hideA() ( b.style.display = "none"; a.style.display = "none"; )

STEP TWO. HTML code.

Open

In tag "div" specify identifier " a", which will interact with styles css and with code JavaScript. Next, add another tag " div" and give it an identifier " windows", which will act as markup inside the modal's container.

Inside we indicate the link, which will be " close"modal window, also style it" pages" and set the default style to " float: right", that is, we will display the closing link of the modal window in the upper right corner.

close

We prescribe the identifier " b", which will hide the window.

Full code.

Open close

STEP THREE. CSS code.

Required Styles css, without which the modal window will not work correctly, or rather, it will not work correctly at all and display information.

And so the first mandatory style regarding position, in this example is fixed. It allows you to display a modal window, while limiting it with a fill border. By using z-index we specify how much the modal window is identified after the link is clicked" open", and " close". Also display: none, which allows you to hide the modal until the link is clicked.

#b ( position:fixed; top:0; left:0; right:0; bottom:0; display:none; background: gray; z-index:1; ) #a ( border:1px solid black; position:fixed ; background: #eff7ff; z-index:3; display:none; ) #windows ( padding:5px; width: 500px; height: 300px; border: 2px solid blue; ) a.pages ( background: #97cdff; color: white; padding: 4px; text-decoration: none; ) a:hover.pages ( background: red; color: white; padding: 4px; text-decoration: none; )

Thank you all for your attention!

Modals, overlays, dialogs, whatever you want to call them, it's time to rethink this UI pattern. When they first came on the scene, modals were an elegant solution to a user interface problem. First, they simplify the user interface. Secondly, saving screen space. Since then, designers have embraced modals with alacrity, and some have taken them to the extreme. Modals have become today's version of the dreaded popup. Users find modals annoying and have learned to instinctively and automatically close them.

A modal window is an element that sits on top of the main application window. It blocks the main window, but leaves it visible behind the child modal window. Users must interact with the modal before they can return to the parent application. — Wikipedia

You can use a modal when you need to:

Use when you want to interrupt the user's current task to draw their attention to something more important.

Use when you want to get information from the user. For example, a registration and authorization form.

Use if you want to show additional information without losing the context of the parent page. For example, showing larger images or videos.

Use when you want to show information that is not directly related to the parent page or other parameters that are "independent" of other pages. For example, notifications.

Note: Do not use modals to display error, task success, or warning messages. Leave them on the page.

Poorly implemented overlays can get in the way of a task. To keep your modal window from interfering with users, keep the following in mind:

Give users a way to escape by giving them a way to close the modal. This can be achieved in the following ways:

• Cancel button
• close button
• Escape key
• Click outside the window

Accessibility Tip: Each modal window must have an accessible keyboard control to close that window. For example, the escape key should close the window.

Give the user context with a modal title. This allows users to know where he/she is because they have not left the original page.

Tip: The button label (which launches the modal) and the modal title must match

Button labels should contain meaningful names. This applies to any button. For modal windows, the 'close' button should be represented as a 'close' button icon or 'x'.

Note: Don't make the button icon confusing. If the user tries to cancel an action and the modal window pops up with ANOTHER cancel button, confusion arises. “I cancel the cancellation? Or do I continue it?

The modal shouldn't be too big or too small, you just want it to be the right size. The goal is to keep the context, so the modal should not take up the whole screen. The content must match the model window. If a scrollbar is required, you can create a new page.

• Position  — at the top of the screen, because in mobile view the modal might get lost if placed below it.
• Size  — Do not use more than 50% of the model window screen.

When you open a modal, use the lightbox effect (dimming the background). This draws attention to the modal and indicates that the user cannot interact with the parent page.

Accessibility Tip: Set the keyboard focus to the modal window.

Don't surprise users with a pop-up modal. Let the user's action, such as clicking a button, following a link, or selecting an option, trigger a modal window. Self-opening modals can surprise the user and cause them to close quickly.

Modals and mobile devices tend to work poorly together. Browsing content is difficult because modals are too big, take up too much screen space, or are too small. Add elements such as a device keyboard and nested scrollbars. Users can only move their fingers and zoom, trying to catch the field of the modal window. There are better alternatives for modals, so they should not be used on mobile devices.

When creating modal windows, don't forget to add accessible keyboard controls. Consider the following:

Opening a Modal  — The element that invokes the dialog must be keyboard accessible.

Move focus to a dialog box —   When a modal window is open, the keyboard focus should be moved to its beginning.

Keyboard focus control   —   When the focus is moved to a dialog box, it should be “locked” inside it until the dialog box is closed.

Closing Dialog   —   Each modal window must have a keyboard control available to close that window.

The Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) standard defines ways to improve the accessibility of web content and web applications.

The following ARIA tags can be helpful in creating an accessible modal: Role = “ dialog ” , aria - hidden , aria - label

Also, be aware of users with poor eyesight. They can use screen magnifiers on monitors to magnify screen content. After zooming in, the user can only see part of the screen. In this case, modal windows will be displayed in the same way as in mobile devices.

If people have learned to automatically try to close modals, why would you want to use them?

Capturing the user's attention, maintaining context, and simplifying the user interface are the big benefits of modal windows. However, they also have disadvantages as they interrupt the user experience and make it impossible to interact with the parent page by hiding the content behind a modal window. A modal window may not always be the right answer. When choosing, consider the following:
