I tried this to...no luck with the binding on the close button yet... $("#button-sales").click(function(event) {
$("#modalContentInstSales").load("includes/institutional- sales.html"); $('#modalContentInstSales').modal({ onClose: modalClose, onOpen: modalOpen, containerCss: { height: 420, width: 342 } }); $('#modalContentInstSales').modal(data, {onShow: function (dialog) { $(".simplemodal-close", dialog.data).click(function (e) { e.preventDefault(); $.modal.close(); }); }}); });
