Is there any Lightbox-live or overlay library out there that only provides the “basic cross-browser centered popup with a dark background” without attempting to perform requests and display images?
I would like to populate the contents myself using my own JS code which is non-trivial and all of these libraries expecting a link with something displayable inside it are unusable for my simple yet unusual (it would appear) use case…
I’ve gone over maybe 15 Lightbox clones today and for the life of me couldn’t find a simple way to just get the basic overlay functionality without the added fluff. Is anyone familiar with something like that ?
Look into Colorbox. Check the Inline Examples. It works well.
