I'm using the GLightbox JS library for a portfolio gallery and want to be able to close the gallery when clicking outside the inner element.
I found other questions of a similar nature, but I'm avoiding jQuery and haven't been able to find a solution that works for this specific use case. Plus it looks like the functionality I want is built in. I'm just trying to access it.
The documentation lists a number of options, and includes what appears to be a function for closing the gallery with something other than the default button.
Their documentation is here: http://glightbox.mcstudios.com.mx/
The markup for the gallery is generated on the fly, and follows this structure:
<div class="goverlay"></div><!-- background overlay -->
<div class="gcontainer"><!-- main container -->
<div id="lightbox-slider">
<div class="gslide">
<div class="gslide-inner-content"><!-- image/text content -->
<img src="img/image.jpg" alt="">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Based on their documentation there is a method to trigger closing the gallery listed toward the bottom of the page:
// Close the lightbox
myLightbox.close();
I want to be able to click outside of .gslide-inner-content to close the gallery, and this is the basic idea I've come up with so far:
var closeTheGallery = document.getElementsByClassName('.gslide');
closeTheGallery.onclick = function() {
myLightbox.close();
e.stopPropagation();
};
I've tried several iterations of the above code targeting various parent and child elements to see if there's anything I can hook into. So far no luck - any insights would be appreciated - thanks in advance.
The myLightbox.close(); feature didn't seem to do anything regardless of what event or <div> I used, but Doug provided some helpful guidance.
As a workaround, I added an event listener for a click on the .current slide container and set it to trigger another click on the default .gclose button.
// find .current slide item and listen for click
// once click happens, trigger click for the close button
document.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
if (hasClass(e.target, 'current')) {
document.querySelector('.gclose').click();
}
}, false);
It may not be the most elegant solution, but it gets the job done and doesn't interfere with the existing functionality of the gallery.
Posting the code here in case other folks using the GLightbox gallery run into the same thing.

I have a page of styled links that I broke into sections using jQuery.
Using jQuery .internal causes the page to navigate to the specified target specified by the href attribute of the link inside the div the user clicked on.
.external does the same thing as .internal except it opens in a new tab.
.video should simply cause the div clicked to play the video specified by the link in a fancybox but it does not. Nor does it report an error in the console.
Here is my code for the fancybox:
HTML
<div id="fentanylVid" class="col-sm-3 dept video" data-department="fentanyl the real deal">
<div class="box listed-left animated-content move_right animate clearfix">
<div class="box-text">
<h4><a data-fancybox="" href="https://youtu.be/Tt0dFCuwkfQ?rel=0">Fentanyl: The Real Deal (Video)</a></h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
jQuery
$('.video').click(function(){
$().fancybox({
selector : '.video'
});
});
I also have the two resources in the header of my page
You can either initialize the fancybox like this
$('.video').fancybox({
selector : '.video'
});
or as #Taplar said
$('.video').click(function(){
$.fancybox.open(this)
});
A bit explaining what your code does:
$('.video').click(function(){ // <- Here you are attaching your click event on selected items
// So, when user clicks, this happens:
$().fancybox({ // Here you are telling fancybox to attach click event ..
selector : '.video' // .. on this selector
});
});
So, basically you have done too much work and all you have to do is to remove your own click event and it should work fine. Or you can use API to start fancybox programmatically, like in the other answer.
I can't seem to get the modal window to show any content from another link. I'm quite sure I've used the correct classes to link them together. This is the basic js given from http://www.ericmmartin.com/projects/simplemodal_v101/.
jQuery(function ($) {
// Load dialog on page load
//$('#basic-modal-content').modal();
// Load dialog on click
$(' .basic').click(function (e) {
$('#basic-modal-content').modal();
return false;
});});
I've put the basic class onto
<li><a href="about me/about me.html" class='basic'>about me</a></li>
and in the external html link (about me) I put a div id of
<div id="basic-modal-content">

You have the following problem:
User click on your link
Click event is fired
Javascript look after some element with ID equals to basic-modal-content
There is no element with this ID
The browser load the about page
What you have to do:
User click on a link (with href='#')
Click event is fired
Use JQuery .load() function to load the html content of about page into a specific div
Call modal with id equals to basic-modal-content
Javascript will look after basic-modal-content and find it
i'm not great with Javascript and jquery etc.
Using http://odyniec.net/projects/imgareaselect/ and a CSS popup, i'm trying to create a file upload that you can crop the image by choosing your selection with and then cancel or continue to upload the file.
I've got the popup opening with the image inside and you can crop the part of the image you want. My issue at the moment is that when you click on the "Cancel" button, the crop highlight still remains. How would I go about getting that to close too?
I've tried numerous things, checking to see if it can hide the div if the other div is pressed, or hidden, or not visible, and I just can't seem to get anything to work.
Here is my jsbin, the upload part isn't working though, so you can't actually see the error on there.

Thanks in advance for any help!
UPDATE:
Working (up until it doesn't!) example: http://www.costapass.es/imageupload/
Looks like you need to do cancelSelection() (see: http://odyniec.net/projects/imgareaselect/usage.html).
In order to get access that method you need to get a reference to your imgAreaSelect object. To do that, put the following in your <head> (or similar).
var ias = null;
$(document).ready(function() {
ias = $('#uploadPreview').imgAreaSelect({ instance: true });
});
Then modify your close button to be:
<div id="blanket" style="display:none;"></div>
<div id="popUpDiv" style="display:none;">
Cancel
<img id="uploadPreview" style="display:none;"/>
</div>

Suppose you have a lightbox, and you want to allow the user to middle-click, which would open a new tab, and the same content that shows-up in the lightbox on left-click is now on a standlone page (complete with header, sidebar, etc).
Anybody have a snippet or technique handy they can share?
Otherwise the technique I was going to try first was just to add a conventional href to the link, then add a click handler that cancels the default action on left click. I think this'll work but I'm not sure so honestly it was easier to pound out a question than to write it up and test it in the 14 browser/os combinations I have to support.
I finally found time to work this out and it was pretty easy:
This is how I made it work using jQuery & FancyBox:
Give your desired link a 'has-overlay' class and give it a custom attribute that will tell it what it should load in the overlay
Login
Be sure you have the overlay code available (this is standard FancyBox stuff)
<div class="hidden" id="loginform"> <!-- Form Goes Here --> </div>
And put this snippet in your on ready event:
$('.has-overlay').bind('click', function(e) {
var overlay = $(this).attr('overlay');
$('').fancybox().trigger('click');
return false;
})
When a user left-clicks, this 'click' handler will be called. It will load the overlay and then return 'false' so the browser won't follow the href in the link.
When a user middle-clicks or right-clicks, the click handler doesn't fire, and it works as a normal link would.
Hey guys, ok, so, I have a jPlayer jQuery plugin playlist hidden on my home page (http://www.marioplanet.com).
Now, it is hidden by default and is only supposed to be activated upon clicking the image labeled "Music" in the upper-right-hand-corner of my header <div>.
This works great, and once an end-user clicks the image, a nice, slick slideToggle action occurs on the <div id="player"> element and it is revealed.
Now, everything holds.
Until, the end-user clicks anywhere except the Music image again, the <div id="player"> element will slideToggle yet again, vanishing.
The only problem, is when the end-user clicks upon the Music image again, because, as far as I know, it slideToggles twice!
That is definitely not what we want.
So, here is the code which was adapted by Magnar's helpful post:
$('#text_music').click(function() {
$('#jplayer').slideToggle(500, function() {
$("body").click(function (event) {
var outside = $(event.originalTarget).parents("#popup").length === 0;
if (outside) {
$("#jplayer").slideToggle(500);
$("body").unbind("click");
}
});
});
});
#text_music is my image reading "Music"
#jplayer is my <div> containing my jPlayer plugin
So, what I want to try and do is declare a variable, just like how var outside is declared in the above code, which handles with the clicking of the #text_music image once the #jplayer <div> is already visible.
However, I need a little assistance in understanding the meaning of this variable.
Anyone want to offer any words of wisdom?
:) Thanks!
Have a look at jQuery outside events plugin to detect events outside of the specific element.
