This may be super simple – but I’m struggling to spot what’s going on.

There are two links output to ‘Open video modal’.

As the link text suggests these two links should open a model pop-up with the youtube video contained.

For some reason the click event doesn’t trigger on first click.
But works on second.

(Haven’t included the CSS so doesn’t look very modal, but you’ll see the content load in below at least for purposes of demo).

Can anyone suggest what’s going wrong?

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks Guys,

Both responses helped me ultimately solve it.

End solution in the updated JSFiddle:

Seems prettyPhoto attaches it’s own on click event, and just needed applying to those dom elements.

Thanks,
Steve
