Dear reader,

after the last update of Likno Modal Windows, the Likno Menu stays on top of all objects also the LWMW-layer. Setting z-index of the menu to -1 did solve it for Firefox, Chrome but not for Internet Explorer 10

What to do?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Kind regards,
RuuRd

Dear RuuRd,

Where did you set the z-index to -1? I checked your site and I see that the menu is set to z-index: 1000.

The same is true for the modal window. Please change the modal window z-index to 1010 or the menu  z-index to 990 in order to fix this problem.

Thank you Kostas,

I forgot that this value is (or can be) set in the IDE of AllWebMenus, so I did set the other value somewhere else in my code (later executed).

Kind regards,
RuuRd

How do I make the content of Modal Windows available to crawlers? It looks like only compiled code is available, which means Google etc won't find it.

If not, any suggestions?

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Hello,

This is true only if you use the “Embedded” Content source type. Instead, you can use the “Page Element” source type so that the modal takes its content from the page. This way all crawlers will also see this content.

If you want to use the modal to open external pages and especially if want various page links to open in the same modal design, then I strongly recommend using the “Make certain links/forms in page open in this window” option:

You will find many examples and sample code for this, but if you need more help then let me know your exact needs so that I can suggest the best solution.

Initial Email Subject: Web Modal Windows Builder - Auto close the modal window 
Support Case Month: March 2013

Would it be possible to setup in the application to either auto close the modal window after the specified # of seconds otherwise the user can click the Close icon before # of seconds elapsed?

I mean that it needs to work with "Make certain links/forms in page open in this window". Basically the link runs a php script with a dynamic id value (favorites.php?action=add&id=#) and returns a result message (error/success/login) in the modal window as an alert. I want this modal window to dismiss automatically after 5 seconds or the user can click on the close icon.
Thanks

Hmmm… this is not officially supported, however you can do this with custom code.

Specifically you can add some JavaScript code to call the “close” command after 5 seconds. If the Modal is already closed, nothing will happen.

On your link try adding something like:

<a … onclick="setTimeout(function () {likno_modal_project.close();},5000);">

Hello Kostas,

Is it a known issue to you that fancybox script is not working if modal window is in the same page??

Regards,
Paolo

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Dear Paolo,

Fancybox is using a very old jQuery version that conflicts with the one we are using.

Please try replacing this:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="fancybox/jquery.js"></script>

With this:

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="/bas2/bas-forms-en/modal/jquery.js"></script>

I assume that Fancybox will indeed run with the newer jQuery version. Let me know if this worked.

Initial Email Subject: Modal Window IE6 support 
Support Case Month: February 2013

Hi Kostas,

Thank you for the support you provided recently.
I have an issue with the latest version of the Web Modal.
It opens a portion of a page (made of only HTML) inside the same page. It works well on all browsers and all IE versions except IE6.
That old IE6 bug that causes Combo boxes being visible through the Modal.
In AllWebMenu we have an option to fix it by hiding the combo boxes or iFrame. There is no option in Web Modal product.
It may be useful to mention there is also an Accordion in the main page (not the modal) made of latest version of Accordion.
I would appreciate your help with this problem.

Thank you,
Saeed

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Dear Saeed,

I am afraid that this is indeed not available in the Modal Builder or any of our other builder products.

Support for IE6 has the potential to double the script size, so we decided (along with Microsoft) that it is time to drop full support for IE6. Most things will still work, but some specific bugs such as this one will not be resolved anymore.
