  • Accessible, Stylish Modal Windows With Modern CSS

    Published Wednesday 12th of August 2009

    With this tutorial I will try to show you a way to do accessible, stylish modal windows (complete with an overlay-div) without using a single image and just a couple of div-elements.

    Our goal is to create a generic modal that can be re-used and that has these basic features:

    • Modals should be hidden by default, except if the user has JavaScript disabled

    • The modal should be centered in the view port, even as the user scrolls

    • The modal should have those semi-transparent, rounded corners I've been seeing a lot of lately :)

    • There should (obviously) be an overlay behind the modal, preventing the user from interacting with anything behind it

    • Clicking outside the modal (i.e. on the overlay) should hide the overlay as well as all open modals (could be optional)

    • Clicking a link pointing to a modal (a[href=#login] for example) should open the modal and display the overlay

    • Don't use any images and keep it accessible!

    You can check out the example here. We'll kick off simple with the HTML.
