Larry:
The link in the page that fires the modal is:
<a href="external-content.htm" rel="#overlay">
Further down the page you see the following javascript that
triggers the modal:
<script>
$(function() {
// if the function argument is given to overlay,
// it is assumed to be the onBeforeLoad event listener
$("a[rel]").overlay({
expose: 'darkorange',
effect: 'apple',
onBeforeLoad: function() {
// grab wrapper element inside content
var wrap = this.getContent().find(".contentWrap");
// load the page specified in the trigger
wrap.load(this.getTrigger().attr("href"));
}
});
});
</script>
If the link in the kml could be intercepted and redirected to the
javascript on
the page, it would work. Not quite sure what js would trigger the
modal and with
the code I included you probably can determine that.
One of the reasons I want to use kml links is that I have a php script
that writes
the kml file from a mysql database. Each link in the "kml description
cdata" must be
unique so as to load different data in the modals. I'm obviously a
little lost
on a solution and appreciate any suggestions you may have.
Thanks,
Jim
