@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 options repeating through every
call. This kinda sucks... Is there a way I could configure the default
options values and then simply call $('#EXAMPLE-ID).modal() and it
will simply show the modal dialog with the options configured before?
Also, in a way that if I want to override some of those default option
values I've set, it would be nice...
2) I don't use a close 'X' button on my modal dialogs, I prefer to
close the dialog manually in a different way- by clicking anywhere
inside the modal dialog and for that, I bind the click() event to the
respective ID. But for this to work, I need to close the modal dialog
manually. I used to do the following using jqModal:
$('div#popup-content').click(function() {
$(this).jqmHide();
});
How can I accomplish the same thing using your plugin?
3) Last but not least... I've read the documentation here on this page
about the onOpen and onClose callbacks but I'm not able to do want I
want. Basically I want the whole modal dialog (overlay and container)
to fade in (onOpen) and fade out (onClose) at the same time, like they
were just one element with, for instance, 1000ms for both animations.
How can I do that?
