@Eric Martin I took your suggestion in the jQuery Google Groups and I've been testing your plugin for the past couple of hours but I'm having a few difficulties accomplishing some stuff... 1) Through out my code I call $('#EXAMPLE-ID').modal({options}) numerous times and I have a bunch of

Why has dimensions not been dragged into the core jQuery library? So many plug-ins seem to want it that we end up with html files all over the web that ask for dimensions, slowing the loading of the page. On Feb 17, 4:39 am, Nazgulled [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: @Eric Martin I took your

Never mind. After I posted this, I decided it made more sense to bring it up in the jQuery development list. I keep seeing dimensions being mentioned as a requirement, including in this thread. On Feb 17, 9:35 am, Nazgulled [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What are you talking about? :S On Feb 17,

jqModal is definitely the most flexible, but maybe not the easiest for a non developer or if you are wanting to do things different than the demos examples. On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 4:41 AM, Sean O [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I switch between jqModal and Thickbox 3.1 for different apps,

The examples on jqModal webpage seem to fit almost everything I want to do... However, I took a look at http://trentrichardson.com/Impromptu/ and what I liked about it that I didn't find in jqModal (maybe I'm blind) is those neat effects when showing/hiding the dialog and the possibility to

Also, it has options for different buttons. You simply provide the name of each button and a click callback. See demo: http://ui.jquery.com/1.5a/demos/dialog.html - Richard On Fri, Feb 15, 2008 at 9:28 AM, Scott González [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The Dialog plugin from jQuery UI now supports

jQuery UI is quite modular. If you want only the dialog plugin, you only need to include a couple of files: dimensions UI draggable UI resizable UI dialog If you want to get even slimmer and aren't interested in your dialog being draggable or resizable, you can leave either/both of those out

About jQuery UI, I haven't read much about the upcoming 1.5 version but I don't think that their modal dialogs version will be powerful enough to compete with the current plugins available. And besides, I'll have to use a huge library (the whole UI) to just use one feature from it... Or maybe I'm

Your plugin looks cool and very simple... I'll have to take a deeper look though and read the whole documentation to see if it fits my needs (is configurable wnough for what I want to do). One question though... I don't if nay of the modal dialog plugins has this but: Let's say the user is using

Nazgulled, Which one is best kind of questions, usually lead to: it depends. It depends on what you want to use the dialog for and what your requirements are. Back in Nov 2007, I was evaluating modal dialogs for a project I was working on. For various reasons, I ended up writing my own modal

If you have a copy of IE6 - take a look at the demos and tests (if not, you could install a href=http://tredosoft.com/ Multiple_IEMultiple IE/a). If you are referring to the opacity of the overlay, that does work in IE6 (through the powers of jQuery). If you are asking about something else, let
