How to create a simple Popup window using jQuery?

Hi everyone, Hope all are doing good.Here in this post i would like to demonstrate you on how to create a simple pop-up window using jQuery.Though there are many other ways you can create a pop-up ,evolution of jQuery kept it too simple which made me to share with you a brief and simple example in which we create a beautiful pop-up window on clicking a simple link.
By the way ,We all know how frequent we come across pop-up windows througout the web environment.Pop-up windows made it  flexible to display message,alert or even a form to fill instaltly without being redirected to a new form.Ultimately it lessens the burden on the server reducing the number of page traversals and postbacks.

When you open the html file given below in a browser it renders a page with a single link Click here to see Pop-UpThe moment you click the link a window pops up in which i have displayed some text.Instead of text it could be even a form which can be made to be filled and posted to the server or to any other page linked to it.


The whole document is given below in which i included the stylesheet and jQuery script files too.Copy the code into your webform and run or directly open it in your browser.
<html>

            });
            /******Trigger popup ********/
            $('.popupTrigger').click(function () {
                var dialog = $(this).next('.popupContent');
                $('.popupClose').css('display''block');
                dialog.css('display''block').addClass('popupWindow');
 
                var overlay = $("<div id='lean_overlay'> </div>").css('display''block').addClass('popupClose');
                $("body").append(overlay);

        });
 
    </script>
 
</head>
<body>
 
    <div class="popup">
        <a class="popupTrigger" href="#">Click here to see popup</a>
        <!--  This is the model popup content  -->
        <div class="popupContent">
            <!-- Titel for popup goes in <h2> tag ---->
            <div class="popupTitle">
                <h2>Simple pop up using jquery </h2>
            </div>
            <!-- Body of popup goes into <p> tag -->
            <div class="popupBody">
                <a class="popupClose" href="">Close</a>
                <p>
                    Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, 
when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.                 </p>             </div>         </div>     </div> </body>
Now you are able to create a simple and beautiful pop-up window.You can try not only plain text in it but also design according to our taste and could even create a form with any control you could use in your webpages.Hope you understand this and try to apply it in your applications whereever you feel it required.
