HTML5 Modals

[developit]

This addresses #8 by adding default photon styling to the HTML5 <dialog> element.

Rationale:

<dialog> provides keyboard shortcuts and backdrop styling, and includes DOM methods to control modal behavor:

Method	Description
showModal()	Show the dialog with a backdrop preventing further interaction
show()	Show the dialog but allow interaction with any partial obscured content
close(result)	close the dialog. Accepts a value, which is passed on to the close event that is emitted

Step 1) Add HTML:

Example

Open Modal

×

Some text in the Modal..

Step 2) Add CSS:

Example
/* The Modal (background) /
.modal {
display: none; / Hidden by default /
position: fixed; / Stay in place /
z-index: 1; / Sit on top /
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%; / Full width /
height: 100%; / Full height /
overflow: auto; / Enable scroll if needed /
background-color: rgb(0,0,0); / Fallback color /
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4); / Black w/ opacity */
}

/* Modal Content/Box /
.modal-content {
background-color: #fefefe;
margin: 15% auto; / 15% from the top and centered /
padding: 20px;
border: 1px solid #888;
width: 80%; / Could be more or less, depending on screen size */
}

/* The Close Button */
.close {
color: #aaa;
float: right;
font-size: 28px;
font-weight: bold;
}

.close:hover,
.close:focus {
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
}
Step 3) Add JavaScript:

Example
// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById("myModal");

// Get the button that opens the modal
var btn = document.getElementById("myBtn");

// Get the element that closes the modal
var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];

// When the user clicks on the button, open the modal
btn.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "block";
}

// When the user clicks on (x), close the modal
span.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "none";
}

// When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (event.target == modal) {
modal.style.display = "none";
}
}
