Generic Popups (MooTools)

I’ve tested the script (and just double tested the preview) on Internet Explorer 8 and 7, Firefox 3.6+, Chrome 5 and Opera 10.53 on Windows 7; all seem to be working fine. Can you tell me the Operating System you’re using?

I just tested it on Internet Explorer 6 and 7 (and also Chrome 5, Firefox 3.6) on Windows XP, here are the results:

- Works fine in Chrome and Firefox

- Doesn’t work in IE6 (and neither am I supporting it)

- Works perfectly fine in IE7 (without envato frame; with the frame it wasn’t handling the positioning quite well with some of the popups; also it doesn’t seem to handle z-index well, it’s a known IE7 Browser issue—nothing to do with the script)

So you might wanna try removing the envato frame (and wait till the page is fully loaded?) and try again as it could possibly be what’s causing IE7 to go nuts.

I’m looking into it, will check on vista and get back to you in about an hour hopefully.

You were right about the type mismatch alert in IE7 which only seemed to come up on Vista. The problem was with setting the z-index CSS property; IE7 doesn’t recognize z-index: ‘auto’ as a valid value for it; it seems like an IE7 Browser bug. Anyway, I’ve FIXED it and I’ve also fixed the problem I mentioned earlier about IE7 handling z-indexes wrongly. It’s all working absolutely fine now, I’m going to upload the updated version in about 30mins, and it should hopefully get accepted by tomorrow. I’ll post again once the update has been accepted.

Thanks a lot infuzed for pointing this out. I’ve tested the script in Chrome 5, Firefox 3.6+, IE 6 – 8 on Windows XP/Vista/7 and Opera 10.5 on Windows 7; the script works fine on all of them (except IE6 , which I do not intend to support).

I’ve sent the updated version of the script for review, it should be up in a day, if you’ve already purchased the script, e-mail me via my contact page @ http://codecanyon.net/user/daniyal .. and I’ll email you back the updated version of the script.

Thanks once again.

The updated version of the script has been approved and is now available for purchase.

Haven’t planned it yet, so definitely not anytime soon. MooTools seemed a perfect fit for this purpose because of it’s object-oriented style of programming (which makes re-usability and extensibility easy to achieve).

What most people fail to understand about jQuery is that it’s not good for every purpose, it is great for DOM selection and manipulation (i.e. getting smaller tasks done quickly) etc. but anything bigger than that might require unnecessary coding complexities that I definitely would want to avoid. It might be a popular choice because of its ease-of-use but it’s definitely not fit for every purpose I’d say.

Thank you for your interest in the product though !

Thank you for your interest and comment. And yeah, it was meant to do almost every sort of popup, I would’ve gone on and on with the examples but after 15 I got really tired lol n i didn’t want to delay the launch because I worked on this for almost 4 months it required a lot of planning and thinking and revising .. I just hope now it was worth the effort

Not that I’ve ever used jQuery and MooTools together, but these might help:

i can’t see any reason as to why it would be a problem using it on the front-end of wordpress..

Try emailing me from my contact page with the example file zipped so I can have a look at it; please also include an explanation of what you’re trying to do.

If you wanted to open a new page inside another existing page then it can be done using an iframe inside a popup html structure. Otherwise, you could just simply make a form inside a div for example and make that div a popup which is envoked on a specific event. So, yes it can be done.

it itself is not, but using javascript’s setinterval function you can launch it after set intervals?

sorry for the late reply .. i’m on a holiday ..

you will need to use mootools with compatibility distribution for backward compatibility.

Unfortunately, it is not available as a wordpress plugin yet, therefore, there are no instructions on how to install it on a blog. You can, however, use it on your web pages following the instructions in the help file. Knowledge of JavaScript/MooTools may be required to do that.

sure it’s quite simple, just drop me an email via the contact form on my profile page and i’ll reply back to you with an example.

i would like to inform you though, that i have a flight in a few hours and will be traveling for the next 17hours so i may be a little slow replying back. i hope that’s not much of an inconvenience.
