1. Creating the Page Template

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Website</title>
<link href="style/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"> </script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/script.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
    <a href="#" class="topopup">Click Here Trigger</a>
   
    <div id="toPopup">
    <div class="close"></div>
        <span class="ecs_tooltip">Press Esc to close <span class="arrow"></span></span>
    
        <div id="popup_content"> <!--your content start-->
            Test content, Test content Test content Test content Test content Test content Test content  
            <a href="#" class="livebox">Click Here Trigger</a>  
        </div> <!--your content end-->
    </div> <!--toPopup end-->
    
    <div class="loader"></div>
    <div id="backgroundPopup"></div>
</body>
</html>

In index.html, we include the css, jquery script and js script after the title tag; in the body we have 3 div containers for popup div event.

  • div container for loading
  • div container for popup background,
  • and div container for popup

2. The stylesheet

style.css

#backgroundPopup {
    z-index:1;
    position: fixed;
    display:none;
    height:100%;
    width:100%;
    background:#000000;
    top:0px;
    left:0px;
}
#toPopup {
    font-family: "lucida grande",tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
    border: 10px solid #ccc;
    border-radius: 3px 3px 3px 3px;
    color: #333333;
    display: none;
    font-size: 14px;
    left: 50%;
    margin-left: -410px;
    position: fixed;
    top: 20%;
    width: 800px;
    z-index: 2;
}
div.loader {
    background: url("../img/loading.gif") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    height: 32px;
    width: 32px;
    display: none;
    z-index: 9999;
    top: 40%;
    left: 50%;
    position: absolute;
    margin-left: -10px;
}
div.close {
    background: url("../img/closebox.png") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    cursor: pointer;
    height: 30px;
    position: absolute;
    right: -27px;
    top: -24px;
    width: 30px;
}
span.ecs_tooltip {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #000000;
    border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    display: none;
    font-size: 11px;
    height: 16px;
    opacity: 0.7;
    padding: 4px 3px 2px 5px;
    position: absolute;
    right: -62px;
    text-align: center;
    top: -51px;
    width: 93px;
}
span.arrow {
    border-left: 5px solid transparent;
    border-right: 5px solid transparent;
    border-top: 7px solid #000000;
    display: block;
    height: 1px;
    left: 40px;
    position: relative;
    top: 3px;
    width: 1px;
}
div#popup_content {
    margin: 4px 7px;
    /* remove this comment if you want scroll bar
    overflow-y:scroll;
    height:200px
    */
}

In the css, if you want scrollbar in the popup just remove comment in line 74.

3. The jQuery script

script.js

jQuery(function($) {
    
    $("a.topopup").click(function() {
            loading(); // loading
            setTimeout(function(){ // then show popup, deley in .5 second
                loadPopup(); // function show popup
            }, 500); // .5 second
    return false;
    });
    
    /* event for close the popup */
    $("div.close").hover(
                    function() {
                        $('span.ecs_tooltip').show();
                    },
                    function () {
                        $('span.ecs_tooltip').hide();
                      }
                );
    
    $("div.close").click(function() {
        disablePopup();  // function close pop up
    });
    
    $(this).keyup(function(event) {
        if (event.which == 27) { // 27 is 'Ecs' in the keyboard
            disablePopup();  // function close pop up
        }      
    });
    
    $("div#backgroundPopup").click(function() {
        disablePopup();  // function close pop up
    });
    
    $('a.livebox').click(function() {
        alert('Hello World!');
    return false;
    });
    

     /************** start: functions. **************/
    function loading() {
        $("div.loader").show();  
    }
    function closeloading() {
        $("div.loader").fadeOut('normal');  
    }
    
    var popupStatus = 0; // set value
    
    function loadPopup() {
        if(popupStatus == 0) { // if value is 0, show popup
            closeloading(); // fadeout loading
            $("#toPopup").fadeIn(0500); // fadein popup div
            $("#backgroundPopup").css("opacity", "0.7"); // css opacity, supports IE7, IE8
            $("#backgroundPopup").fadeIn(0001);
            popupStatus = 1; // and set value to 1
        }    
    }
        
    function disablePopup() {
        if(popupStatus == 1) { // if value is 1, close popup
            $("#toPopup").fadeOut("normal");  
            $("#backgroundPopup").fadeOut("normal");  
            popupStatus = 0;  // and set value to 0
        }
    }
    /************** end: functions. **************/
}); // jQuery End

In the click event we triggered the loading() function and delay 0.5 second and triggered the loadPopup() function and the pop up displays. We add little more for closing the popup, if hover the ‘Close’ the tool tip message will appeared and keyboard event for close.
