Cannot disable overlay

[d-bo]

Hi. I cannot disable overlay by setting "overlay: false"

Hi d-bo, thanks for your post. Well, I don't know overlay: false... Where did you find it? And did you set it to option? Could you show me your code?

[d-bo]

I cannot find it docs, so it is my guess)

          var button = $('#rss-modal').click(function() {
            modal.plainModal('open');
          });
          var modal = $('#rss-feed').plainModal({
            offset: function() {
              var btnOffset = button.offset(), win = $(window);
              return {
                left:   btnOffset.left - win.scrollLeft()
                          + parseInt(this.css('borderLeftWidth'), 10),
                top:    btnOffset.top - win.scrollTop()
                          + parseInt(this.css('borderTopWidth'), 10)
              };
            },
            overlay: false
          });
        }

If you want to just hide the overlay, add this to CSS (not option):

.plainmodal-overlay { display: none !important; }

Yes, but:

• scrollbar disappears (unable to scroll up/down)
• modal is not closing when you click above

I think this is more a feature request than an issue) Thanks.

No..., features you requested are not needed for plainModal. Because plainModal is plugin to do those you want to disable. If you don't need those, you don't need plainModal. Remember, plainModal is plugin for the modal window. I don't know that you want to do, but I think that something that you want is not the modal window. The modal window is the GUI system that avoids accessing the outside elements of it by the user. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window That is, the overlay should not be hidden for modal window in principle.

I think that you might need the normal popup plugins.

Thanks for spending time to explain. Misunderstod the modal window concept)

:thumbsup: If you want to just show/hide an element as popup, you probably don't need any plugin. A very easy way: switching a CSS property. Well, I close this issue, ok?
