I am building an app and want to have a lot of the site forms come up in a box over the screen with the background darkened out. I have seen redbox on github and it seems to do what I need it to do but I see that it hasnt been updated since 2007. Is there a new way to go about this? Any alternatives to redbox?
Thanks for your ideas!
Look at overlay effect in jQuery tools - a pretty nice library with a lots of demos. This is a collection of modern user-interface components such as tabs, tooltips, overlay, scrollable and so on. Single JavaScript file weighs only 5.72 Kb.
There is another pretty nice box plugin: jquery fancybox. It can display images, video, flash, html-content. Packed js weighs 15Kb. Very cool stuff.
we used facebox for popup the implementation and how to use popup on ajax subpages also explained http://www.spritle.com/blogs/?p=564. The ui for facebox is already given.Redbox development is stopped I think. I suggest to go for some other solution like thickbox, lightbox or any other solution if you want to apply your own style for your popup.But, in my opinion facebox is better.

I've found this plugin for older versions of cakephp, which allows you to open a popup containing an element: https://github.com/webtechnick/CakePHP-Popup-Plugin
I couldn't get it to work in Cake 2.x (perhaps it's possible but I just couldn't figure it out). Is there any other alternative to doing this?
After spending a lot of time searching I came to the conclusion that using a javascript addon, for example "lightbox" or "clearbox" (I use the latter), is the easiest and more estetic way to go. Now I can display both pictures and HTML as a kind of popup, but still as part of the same page. I haven't managed to open elements this way, but I can open links to views, and at the moment I can live with that.
I basically want to create the effect of parts of the DOM - divs etc - acting like single pages, like the data-role = content or page - but without using jquery or jqmobile as I find those frameworks too big and much too complicated for the simple tasks I require. They also come heavily designed, that I dont want to use.
I saw these posts, but they are looking for similar transitions, not the basic functionality
JQuery mobile page transition without jQuery mobile
jQuery Mobile CSS3 Page Transitions without jQuery Mobile Library
But these posts lead me to believe there is a simple and light answer out there to mimic the functionality. Can anyone suggest some Javascript, HTML5, or even a light framework that does this?
Thanks
How about just having a look at the JQM source code? That's the nice thing about open-source projects... ;-)
Sourcecode is pretty small, I am sure you'll be able to manually extract whatever fits your needs.
I want a single online web page for my bookmarks. The page should include small windows which opens the following pages:
Fizy, Facebook, Guardian.
There should also be a button for adding a new window with an URL text input.
Here's an illustration of how the page should look: http://i54.tinypic.com/2hrkb48.jpg
I've built a version of this at http://bit.ly/heqEd1, but as you may see, it uses iframes under javascript windows, which can not open frame-breaking sites (like fizy.com), or Facebook.
I'll make the research and but I am not sure how to proceed. Any solution will be accepted, like HTML5, XUL, Flex, AJAX or others. A solution with a local installation(like a Firefox extension) is not preferred, but still be ok.
Note: Piro Sakura has built a Firefox extension called split-browser. There's an element of the project called "subbrowser". An AJAX window that can show a subbrowser MAY solve the problem. I know the page will only be available from Firefox, but that is ok. (Again, a solution without an installation is preferred)
Any suggestions? How should I proceed? What should I learn? Is this possible?
Thanks.
I think you should use a Javascript with iFrames to do this. I'm not too sure what you're trying to accomplish with this, but it should be possible. As for which framework you'll use, it's up to you, but there will be a lot of custom code needed to implement this.
You can make multiple draggable windows in FLEX same as you have in you app
Please check sample as Starting point Movable/Draggable window and its demo
also u knows JS-DESKTOP lib with little customization to achieve that one of them are
jsdesk
sonspring-JQuery based
also you can do this using
Hopes that helps
I'm trying to choose a JavaScript modal plugin to use it on a web site.
I used to use nyroModal (without making any research on this topic) but they have updated it recently and all of the API has changed and, apparently, some of the functionallity of previous version has been lost.
So, I think that this is time to start thinking about whether nyroModal is the right plugin to choose.
I see this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/756342/whats-your-favorite-jquery-modal-plugin but I'm not asking for a jQuery plugin, but a JavaScript plugin. The one that you prefer.
This is the functionallity I need:
Launch the modal using an anchor
Launch the modal manually and specify its content
Ability to customize all its content
Ability to attach callbacks on specific modal events
Updated documentation
Thank you!
I think most of the best modal layers are built using a particular framework (i.e. jQuery, mootools, dojo, etc).
By the way, I used several times highslide and it's very powerful!! No frameworks needed :)
I am a mootools fan, and this plugin is my favorite at the moment. It does modal for images, videos, and etc. http://iaian7.com/webcode/mediaboxAdvanced
if you are looking for something similar to what facebook as. David Walsh has a modal plugin called LightBox and its great. http://davidwalsh.name/facebook-lightbox
Both of these plugins are based off Mootools framework.
I'm looking for something very, very close in functionality to the lightbox on
Apple's MacBook Pro website (the lightbox will open automatically).
I really need the thumbnail slider and the text-area. The layout can be different, as I have the skills to remodel it if need be, I just don't have the time to build it from scratch.
No preference of dependent libraries.
If you use a standard lightbox, you could probably incorporate this control into it:
http://jqueryfordesigners.com/demo/slider-gallery.html
or maybe you're looking for something more like this:
http://www.gmarwaha.com/jquery/jcarousellite/index.php
Basically what you want is a lightbox with an embedded carousel control
ended up combining JCarouselLite with Galleria and using Fancybox to pull it altogether - took longer than I had available, but the client will be happy I hope ...
