Special Effect: "Screen dims and invitation floats up:

Hi all

Something creative for a change.

More and more I come across a special effect on web pages that intrigues me and at the same time often annoys me. It is all about some special code that is written to create say an envelope float up from the bottom of the website to the middle of the screen. At the same time the webpage behind the envelope dims so that the viewer can concentrate on the envelope and what is written on it.

In this instance you can see I am searching for Inspiring German Proverbs and then up pops this envelope trying to get me to buy an ‘e-book’. I think you know the type of effect.

I would be interested to know how this is done, e.g. what the code is and
where do I place the code in Oxid CE if I chose to use it.

Inserting things into Oxid is always a challenge for me and details on exactly where is appreciated.

Wer rastet, der rostet.

Cheers

Don,

google for ‘modal popup’ or ‘modal window’. It is Javascript code and should be placed right above the closing body tag (</body>, might be found in footer template).

Marco,

Many thanks. I’ll give it a whirl when I get my latest thread solved. :slight_smile:
