Launch Kyle Fox Modal on Page Load after 2 seconds

JavaScript
1

Hi there,
Anyone use Kyle Fox modal plugin for jQuery? http://kylefox.ca/jquery-modal/examples/

I already use this extensively on a site and it is great but for the first time I need to launch one of the modals about 2 seconds after the page loads. All the documentation is click event based. Any ideas how I could achieve this?

Thanks!

Hey,

You can manually open a modal by calling the .modal() method on an element. Combine this with setTimeout() and you can achieve what you desire : )

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
  <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>Kylefox modal</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery.modal.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="myDiv" class="modal">
      <h1>Some awesome content!</h1>
      <p>Hello!</p>
    </div>

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
    <script src="jquery.modal.min.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
    <script>
      setTimeout(function(){
        $('#myDiv').modal();
      }, 2000);
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
