ModalBox, an easy way to create popups and wizards

By: Mark Dijkstra    In: Popup Prototype Script.aculo.us

ModalBox is a JavaScript technique for creating modern (Web 2.0-style) modal dialogs or even wizards (sequences of dialogs) without using conventional popups and page reloads. It’s inspired by Mac OS X modal dialogs. And yes, it may also be useful for showing bigger versions of images.

ModalBox is built with pure JavaScript and is based on Sam Stephenson’s excellent Prototype JavaScript Framework, script.aculo.us and valid XHTML/CSS. ModalBox uses AJAX to load content.


ModalBox technique is still in development. Please feel free to comment or submit your bugs here: http://code.google.com/p/modalbox/
