controlling an overlay via a handle?
Hi everyone.
Longtime Javascripter taking his lumps on JQuery :D
I grabbed an overlay routine from flowplayer and got that working (though I don't quite know how)
then I got ambitious and added another dialog (duplicating their code) and bound it to a button. Works fine.
Then I wanted to reuse the first dialog in an exception case during a function triggered by my new button... snafu time
My second dialog triggers an overlay, then the first dialog triggers it's own overlay.
I want to know if there's a way to get a handle for the overlays and control them via scripting as objects (cancel them or close them individually).
AND/OR... is there a way to call an overlay on the fly (not bind it to a button or event) ?
Thanks for any tips.
Here's the flowplayer code for reference:
var triggers = $("img.modalInput").overlay(
{
// some expose tweaks suitabCancelle for modal dialogs
expose: {
color: '#1e3871',
loadSpeed: 100,
opacity: 0.96
},
closeOnClick: false
}
);
$("#prompt form").submit(function(e) {
// close the overlay
triggers.eq(1).overlay().close();
// get user input
//var input = $("input", email).val();
//alert(input);
// do something with the answer
//triggers.eq(1).html(input);
// do not submit the form
//return e.preventDefault();
});
