I am happy to announce that i was able to resolve this issue (smiles): *CODE:*
*<script>$(document).ready(function(){$('.branch1').click(function() {const id = $(this).data('id'); // Extract the data-id attribute of the link.var hiddenSection = * *$('#' + id);hiddenSection.fadeIn().css({ 'display':'block' }).css({ top:($(window).height() - hiddenSection.height())/2 + 'px',left:($(window).width() - hiddenSection.width())/2 + 'px' }).css({ 'background-color': 'rgba(0,0,0,0.6)' }).appendTo('body');$('img#close').click(function(){ $(hiddenSection).fadeOut(); });});});</script>* Initially the hiddenSection variable was set to a containing #div called* #ours*, i removed that div and set the hiddenSection variable to *$('#' + id)like below as it is also demonstrated in my code above* *var hiddenSection = * *$('#' + id);* Now my link is working properly, it no longer has a large opaque window in the background! But i do get my modal window displaying what i want! *Mostwanted* On Friday, January 11, 2019 at 8:22:50 AM UTC+2, mostwanted wrote: > > My task I want to believe is fairly simple but something is wrong in my > code, I am attempting to incorporate something I learned from Anthony into > a small idea I have but its going side ways.
