ModalA Modal is a popup or dialog that overlays a page's content and, typically, must be interacted with in some way in order to return to the page.
Add a Modal to your design from +Add > Helpers > Modal.
Adding Elements to a Modal
A Modal consists of a transparent overlay and a container div. Any element can be inserted into the container div.
To insert an element into a Modal, select the Modal and then choose any element from the +Add menu. You can also drag and drop elements into the Modal just like any other container.

Content Styles
The Content Styles area allows you to set the Modal's child element layout, horizontal item alignment, vertical item alignment, text color, and background color.
Modal Styles
Width - Set the overall width of the Modal container element. This defaults to %, but may be set to PX or VW by clicking the % symbol and choosing a different unit.
Backdrop Color - Set the color of the backdrop. If you want no backdrop, move the alpha slider to 0.
Modal Position - Set the position of the Modal container element.
Closing
This setting allows you to determine the closing behavior of a Modal.
Close Modal Automatically - If yes, allows you to specify a number of seconds after which the Modal will be closed automatically.
Close on ESC key - If yes, pressing the ESC key will close the Modal.
Close Modal On Backdrop Click - If yes, clicking the backdrop of the Modal will close it.
Insert Close Button - Inserts a button that, when clicked, will close the Modal.
Any element with the .oxy-close-modal class will act as a close button, allowing you to use Icons and other elements as close buttons for your Modal.
Additionally, you may use JavaScript to close the Modal via the oxyCloseModal() function. This option gives advanced users more flexibility in determining when and how a Modal is closed.
// Always use oxyCloseModal()
// after the full DOM is loaded
// ie. on the document ready event
jQuery( document ).ready( function() {
// check if the function is defined
// (we may be on a page without modals)
if( typeof oxyCloseModal !== 'undefined' ) {
// close the first open modal found
oxyCloseModal();
// close a specific modal, if found
oxyCloseModal( document.getElementById('myModal') );
}
} );
