Hey,
The problem you encountered is the fact that you execute the
$('dialog_1') function as soon as the script file loads, and not after
the DOM tree is ready. At the point that script is loaded not all the
html might be loaded and parsed by the browser.
What you need to do is to defer executing all the DOM related code to
the moment when the page is completely parsed and the Document Object
Model tree is ready in browser.
Prototype.js gives you a simple way to do that all. You just need to
wrap the code in a function and make that function execute when DOM is
ready:
Event.observe(document, 'dom:loaded', //the prototype.js magic event
function () {
$('dialog_1').observe('click',function(){
modal.open();
});
});
