Today I was introduced to an incredibly handy plugin for jQuery called Boxy. You know those Facebook-type modal dialogues that pop up on a web page and grey-out everything else? Well, Boxy lets you do that with one simple Javascript command, as in:
$('.boxy').boxy();
It includes all sorts of options as well, including a handy function that lets you retrieve the Boxy object associated with an element. Check out the ton of Boxy examples they’ve provided.
Definitely a new tool for the toolbox!
