[Plugin: Modal Dialog] Issues with click event trigger

Hi,

Just a couple of questions on what looks to be the perfect solution to my need for a overlay style newsletter sign up.

1) First of all, the link trigger works in chrome but not ff with this code:

[code][a href="#" onClick="openDialog()" rel="nofollow"]Click here to open dialog[/a]

[script type="text/javascript"]
function openDialog() {
jQuery("a#inline").trigger('click')
}
[/script] [/code]

from here – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/modal-dialog-any-way-to-trigger-from-a-link.

Please note [] were replaced with <> and the [code][/code] tags were removed. Any ideas?

2) The overlay opens autmatically (in chrome) even though it is set to manual.

3) Based on what you said here – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-modal-dialog-modal-box-wont-load?replies=13, is it a problem to have the code above in 1) as well as the following code:

//<![CDATA[
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

//External links
$(function() {
$(‘a[rel~=external]’).attr(‘target’, ‘blank’);
});

});
//]]>

Although I believe the // indicates the code has been commented out.

4) The overlay will be used for a subscription box, how do you allow the link to be clicked multiple times and trigger the overlay? For example if a user opens and closes the box multiple times – for whatever reason.

5) Can I drop any mailer plgin software into the overlay? If so, which section do I drop the code in?

6) Is there a way to make the code degrade gracefully if the user is either on a mobile device or has js turned off – ie instead it opens a separate page with the subscription form?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

John
