A lightweight JavaScript library to create a responsive, drag’n’drop modal window with support keyboard shortcuts. Inspired by Google Modal and based on Draggabilly PACKAGED library.
How to use it:
Load the draggabilly.pkgd.js and modal.js in the html page.
<script src="js/draggabilly.pkgd.js"></script> <script src="js/modal.js"></script>
Create a modal window following the markup structure like so:
<div class="modal">
<header class="modal-header">
<h1 class="modal-header-title left">Title of Modal</h1>
<button class="modal-header-btn right modal-close" title="Close Modal">OK</button>
</header>
<div class="modal-body">
<section class="modal-content">
Modal Content Goes Here
</section>
</div>
</div>Create a button to launch the modal window.
<button class="modal-header-btn modal-trigger btn-fixed">Open Modal</button>
