Question

I have a pretty basic problem I can’t figure out when using jQuery simplemodal: http://www.ericmmartin.com/projects/simplemodal/

Here is a jsfiddle that illustrates: http://jsfiddle.net/F5tN9/1/

I want to click a link (see the “Click me” link), and show a modal dialog. However, if I have too much text in the dialog, SimpleModal is resizing the box to be too small so there ends up being scrollbars. I wasn’t sure the best way to solve this (maybe force the element height to auto in a callback?), but I figured that this was a pretty basic example and there must be some solution or reason as to why it doesn’t work right.

Answer 1

$(function() {
    $('#click').click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $('#modal_soon').modal({
            overlayClose : true,
            containerCss: {'height': 'auto !important'}
        });
    });
});
