jquery - What is an alternative way to open a modal window instead of window.open? -
my rails 3.2 application needs authorized against each user's account on 3rd party website. using window.open
this, different settings available in internet explorer, hit , miss , causing user frustration.
i googled jquery modal window
, came embarrassment of riches. yet haven't found way quite want. here requirements:
- open modal child window , give focus.
- prevent user returning application until child window closed.
the closest thing i've found zebra dialog, appears have different types of messages can show. need set href
of window user can authenticate , authorize application 3rd party app user account.
any or pointers appreciated.
you use window.open create modal window, can pretty messy. better off using modal plugin requirements have.
i suggest using bootstrap, use modals. easy implement , style.
