Modals and styled elements

[Ben]

Hi All,

I have a fundamental problem with using LivePipe that I hope someone
can help with.

I have a list of anchors, each with a different url link. Each should
open a modal related to the link.

I don't want to create separate modal objects for each one- I only
need one, which loads up the link content when summoned.

Unfortunately, it seems like one can only bind a modal to a specific
element, by ID. This means I can't see a way to make a general use
modal object that will serve all my anchor elements.

Any ideas? Am I being stupid?

Thanks!
Ben

Ok, well, I got it working like this:

Event.observe(window, 'load', function() { init() });
var modals=new Array();
function init() {
els = $$('a.respond');
els.each(function (el) {
modals[modals.length]= new Control.Modal(el,{
overlayOpacity: 0.3,
className: 'modal',
fade: true
});
});
}

<a href="urltoopen" class="respond">HERE</a>

Any more elegant solutions welcome!

Hi,
This is what I do:

1. Place a hidden element somewhere on your page.
2. Initiate a named modal linked to that element on page load.
3. Use the named dialog for whatever you want to achieve. There are
plenty of methods available to manipulate your modal object.

Hope this helps.
