Question

I’m trying to load a modal window with a link like http://www.domain.com/?prod=lorem-ipsum-3
but it doesn’t load in Chrome, Safari or IE. Opera and FF works fine.

Modal window is called as iframe. Other buttons which supposed to open modal window also works fine in all browsers.

P.S. You can see all the code in given site.

Answer 1

You have a race condition in your code – the ModalManager initializes the click handler during the DOMContentReady event and your code to click the link runs in the handler for the same event (via jQuery(document).ready()). Which one gets to run first is undefined, you could just as well consider it as random. So there is always the possibility that your code triggers a click on the hidden link but the handler for it isn’t set up yet. To prevent the race condition you could either run your code immediately after DOMContentReady (easiest way to do this would be putting setTimeout(..., 0) into the event handler) or attach your event handler to the window’s load event instead.
