Quickpost: nyroModal – another jQuery plug-in to keep an eye on
Over the last week or three Internal Apps had a problem where they wanted to display a page, but have a window appear with new contract terms visible. They also needed a scroll bar, buttons to accept/decline, print, and close the pop-up. They also needed a little twist, if the user declined the new contract, or closed the pop-window, the page should send them back to the log in page.
I thought about the problems, and I was thinking recommending to them FancyBox (our old standby for modal windows), but I had just read on another site about nyroModal. I recommended that they try it out (since it's jQuery you have all those great callback functions - that would cover the page redirection etc. - and those oh-so-tasty visual effects that would provide them with exactly what they had envisioned), and within a day they had a perfect set up. So if you find that you need a modal box (for whatever reason), I suggest you give nyroModal a try. We ourselves won't be dumping FancyBox anytime soon, but it is nice to have another option.

Unhide the “X” when displaying flash in fancybox
If it ever strikes your fancy to use FancyBox to display consoles or other flash content, you may run into a problem with the close button not displaying properly.
To correct this problem, you will need to add the line "so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");" to the
ProductNumber.html file, as shown below:
<script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ var so = new SWFObject("console.swf", "console", "533", "531", "8"); so.addVariable("xmlloc", "data/console.html"); so.addVariable("product", "ProForm 450 Elliptical"); so.addParam("wmode", "transparent"); so.addVariable("image", "images/PFEL03907.jpg"); so.write("flashcontent"); // ]]> </script> |
This allows the flash content to show the button properly.
I discovered this after visiting the website of the providers of our SWFObject.js script: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/"
