Callbacks reference

Introduction

This page describes callbacks available for use in ModalBox.

Details

There are couple of callbacks supported by ModalBox. Here they are:

• beforeLoad — fires right before loading contents into the ModalBox. If the callback function returns false, content loading will skipped. This can be used for redirecting user to another MB-page for authorization purposes for example.
• afterLoad — fires after loading content into the ModalBox (i.e. after showing or updating existing window).
• beforeHide — fires right before removing elements from the DOM. Might be useful to get form values before hiding modalbox.
• afterHide — fires after hiding ModalBox from the screen.
• afterResize — fires after calling resize method.
• onShow — fires on first appearing of ModalBox before the contents are being loaded.
• onUpdate — fires on updating the content of ModalBox (on call of Modalbox.show method from active ModalBox instance).

IMPORTANT NOTICE. Each callback is being removed from options of the ModalBox after execution.

Examples

• Modalbox.show(url, {*afterLoad: function() { alert(‘Content loaded successfully’) }* }); – after contents of the page located at specified URL will be loaded into ModalBox, alert will appears on the screen.
• Modalbox.hide({*afterHide: function() { alert(‘Modalbox is now hidden’) }* }); – you can pass callback to any ModalBox method (show, hide, resize). This will show alert after ModalBox disappears.
