It really depends on what you are using it for as well as your personal preferences. I tried BlockUI and jqModal before I finally decided to write my own (SimpleModal). Each one has its strengths and weaknesses, plus there are a lot more out there that aren't even mentioned. Perhaps you can tell us more about your requirements, which may help direct you to one that best fits your needs. On the other hand, you could always give each one the 5-minute test ;) Eric Martin -- http://ericmmartin.com On Sep 18, 9:51 am, crypto5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, what is the best JQuery pop-up window plugin in your opinion?

[jQuery] Re: Best JQuery pop-up plugin.
Thanks everybody for responses. Ok, my requirements are: - modal pop-up - easy to control life cycle(open, close, handle events). - easy to customize look and feel - good documentation. Don't like look at spaghetti code to figure out how it works - existing themes are big plus Currently I made 5 minutes tests for Thickbox, jquery dialog and facebox. Could not find how to customize look and feel for thickbox and facebox. My jquery dialog test doesn't work: the default flora theme doesn't work for me. So I am asking jquery experts to help me make my choice and dive into single pop-up lib. Eric Martin-3 wrote: It really depends on what you are using it for as well as your personal preferences.

For jQuery UI Dialog themes, take a look at ThemeRoller: http://themeroller.com/ - http://ui.jquery.com/themeroller There are ready-made themes in the Theme Gallery or you can Roll Your Own (modifying an existing one, or starting from scratch). - Richard On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 3:38 PM, crypto5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks everybody for responses.

[jQuery] Re: Best JQuery pop-up plugin.
Given your requirements, you can't go wrong with using jQueryUI. - modal pop-up (check) - easy to control life cycle (check) - good documentation (check) -- http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Dialog - easy to customize look and feel ( same link as above, see Theming, also check out the theme roller, very cool!) on the topic of documentation, jQueryUI is officially supported and it has it's own mailing list (google group) with all sorts of knowledgeable people to help out. Just my two-cents again. :o) Chris On Fri, Sep 19, 2008 at 2:38 PM, crypto5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks everybody for responses.

[jQuery] Re: Best JQuery pop-up plugin.
SimpleModal: - modal pop-up (yes) - easy to control life cycle(open, close, handle events). (yes - onOpen, onShow, onClose callbacks) - easy to customize look and feel (yes) - good documentation. (yes - at least I hope so ;) ) - existing themes are big plus (no - the current version doesn't use themes, although the version I'm working on will) Take a look at the demos[1] and tests[2] and you'll see that SimpleModal provides a lot of flexibility. All of the options mentioned here are good scripts, it's just a matter of finding the one that fits you.

[jQuery] Re: Best JQuery pop-up plugin.
My 2 cents... I'm very new to jQuery and I was able to take the jQueryUI dialog plugin and customize it so it's shadowed and theme it to look like Mac OS X windows so it's easily theme-able in my opinion. The documentation on the jQuery site was very helpful in theme-ing. One of the best methods for me was just diving into the ui css file and start playing around in that. I think you'll find the jQueryUI dialog plugin will do what you want. On Sep 18, 11:51 am, crypto5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, what is the best JQuery pop-up window plugin in your opinion?

[jQuery] Re: Best JQuery pop-up plugin.
I've had great luck/usage with jqModal (http://dev.iceburg.net/jquery/jqModal/) very configurable and easy to setup
[jQuery] Re: Best JQuery pop-up plugin.
Do any of them have a callback type of function for what to do on close? I'd like to use a modal form that updates the Ajax in the opener, but only when the modal get's closed.

[jQuery] Re: Best JQuery pop-up plugin.
jqModal does have a callback for that, but it gets pretty ugly if you're using the same modal window for different forms. Then you have to re-configure the jqModal settings on each modal request. What I've done is use a combination of the ajaxForm plugin and LiveQuery to listen for modal forms when they are requested. When the modal form enters the dom, LiveQuery binds the ajaxForm so that the form is handled when it is submitted. Then you just close the modal and you're done. That way you're not trying to handle everything through the modal callbacks. -- Josh - Original Message - From: GasGiant [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jQuery (English) jquery-en@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2008 10:49 AM Subject: [jQuery] Re: Best JQuery pop-up plugin.

I have best luck with blockUI. something about the way jqModal requires you to add a class to the link bugs me. Or maybe I am recalling it incorrectly. blockUI is very lean and seems to cover all the bases. crypto5 wrote: Hi All, what is the best JQuery pop-up window plugin in your opinion?

You don't *have* to
for instance, this would would just fine :-)

div id=ThisModal style=display: none;
Modal Window Markup ...
/div
$(document).ready(function() {
