bPopup is a learning and exploring jQuery project. It’s a lightweight cross browser jQuery popup plugin. It’s not creating your popup but doing all the logic as opening, closing, centering on resize & scroll, creating a modal overlay etc. It can open any container you create with all kinds of content. bPopup has been tested in IE67-9, FF2-7, Opera 9-10, Safari 4-5 and Chrome 4-15.

How to use bpopup

» Click here to see a jsfiddle you can play with! « Basic example that will bind a click event which will trigger bPopup when fired. Add a reference to the jquery core lib (newer than 1.3.x) and bPopup. Please don’t hotlink to bPopup:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/x.x.x/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.bpopup-x.x.x.min.js"></script>

Markup: Add a button + an element to pop up.

<html>
    <head> ... </head>
    <body>
      ...
        <!-- Button that triggers the popup -->
        <button id="my-button">POP IT UP</button>
        <!-- Element to pop up -->
        <div id="element_to_pop_up">Content of popup</div>
      ...
    </body>
</html>

CSS: Hide the element you want to pop up on page load.

#element_to_pop_up { display:none; }

The magic: Bind a click event on the button which will trigger the popup.

// Semicolon (;) to ensure closing of earlier scripting
// Encapsulation
// $ is assigned to jQuery
;(function($) {

     // DOM Ready
    $(function() {

        // Binding a click event
        // From jQuery v.1.7.0 use .on() instead of .bind()
        $('#my-button').bind('click', function(e) {

            // Prevents the default action to be triggered. 
            e.preventDefault();

            // Triggering bPopup when click event is fired
            $('#element_to_pop_up').bPopup();

        });

    });

})(jQuery);

Or with custom settings

;(function($) {
    $(function() {
        $('#my-button').bind('click', function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            $('#element_to_pop_up').bPopup({
                appendTo: 'form'
                , zIndex: 2
                , modalClose: false
            });
        });
     });
 })(jQuery);

The change-list will be updated on github in the future: https://github.com/dinbror/bpopup#changelog.

0.9.0 change-list (26.02.13):

New option: transition: ‘fadeIn’. Now you can change the way the popup should pop up. Default is fadeIn as it always has been, but now it can also ‘slideDown’ or ‘slideIn’. More to follow!
New option: loadData: false. loadData is representing the data attribute in the jQuery.load() method. It gives you the opportunity to submit GET or POST values through the ajax request.
New option: easing: ‘swing’ and followEasing: ‘swing’. Now you can control the easing effect on open and follow. In jQuery there are two kinds of easings, swing as default and linear. If you want more you can include a plugin like the jQuery easing plugin.
New feature: New content type added, ‘image’. When using loadUrl (ajax or image) it will recenter when the request has loaded. Be aware of the animate height/width bug in jQuery 1.9.0 (http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/13183). It’s fixed in version 1.9.1.
Changed: Renamed the option fadeSpeed to speed. The name fadeSpeed doesn’t make sense anymore after I added the new transitions.
Changed: Skipped the lowerCamelCase naming convention, sorry, I just don’t like it. bClose is now b-close, bModal b-modal and so on.
Bugfix: Closing the popup while scrolling will now always close the popup entirely.

0.8.0 change-list (09.01.13):

Bugfix: Closing a popup with the public close method didn’t unbind the click events properly. The bug was only present if used with multiple popups (Thanks to Ben Meyers for reporting it).
Bugfix: Resizing with positionStyle: fixed didn’t center.
Bug: Apple introduced a timer bug in IOS6 when zooming/scrolling and didn’t fix it in the latest release 6.0.1, why I temporary disabled the scroll/resize events in bPopup but only for iDevices with IOS 6 or 6.0.1. I need more time to investigate for a better solution but hopes that Apple will fix it in the next IOS release. I found some fixes which are working but I’ll not implement them in bPopup at the time. Fix 1: https://gist.github.com/3798925 Fix 2: https://gist.github.com/4180482 If you want to use one of them include the script before bPopup and remove “isIOS6X” from bPopup (2 places).
Changed: The closeclass is now using delegate() instead of the more heavy live() event handler. Important note – this means that bPopup now is depending on jQuery 1.4.2+ instead of 1.3.0+. Is someone using jQuery below version 1.4.2?
New option: loadCallback. When using loadUrl you can now define a callback.
Cleaned code a bit.

0.7.0 change-list (21.04.12):

Bugfix: Multiple popup count fix (Thanks to Michael for reporting)
Bugfix: Callback now returns ‘this’ instead of ‘window’ (Thanks to Jeppe for reporting)
Bugfix: Scroll before popup is loaded opacity fix
Bugfix: Moved initialization of popup to after onOpen event so it will center properly when adding stuff onOpen.
Changed: Important note – Swapped arguments in Position so it now takes [x, y] instead of [y, x] like everything else in the world.
Changed: Important note – Also swapped arguments in Follow so it also takes [x, y] instead of [y, x] and removed third argument. See positionStyle instead.
New option: appending: true. Defines if the popup should append to an element or just open where it is.
New option: positionStyle: ‘absolute’. Defines the position style which has impact on how the popup follows on scroll and resize. Absolute or fixed.
Removed private function, getDistanceToBodyFromLeft().

0.6.0 change-list (29.10.11):

New feature: Supports multiple bPopups. Now you can open all the bPopups you want on top of each other.
New feature: Won’t follow if popup is bigger then the window.
Changed: Added 3rd parameter to follow, default false. If true the popup will be fixed on the screen.
Removed: Browser detecting is bad why I removed the check for IE6. IE6 doesn’t support position: fixed but I don’t support IE6 any more. I’m afraid I killed it. It’s easy to add if you still need to support IE6.

0.5.1 change-list (13.04.11):

Bugfix: Added a duration time to the hide() call so onOpen and loadUrl always will be trigged when needed.
Bugfix: Added frameborder=”0″ and scrolling=”no” to iframe to remove borders in IE. Removed width=”100%” and height=100%” from iframe so you have full control over the iframe
Code update: updated the logic regarding follow and position

0.5.0 change-list (12.03.11):

bPopup, now with more control and features!
New events: onOpen and onClose
New option: Position['auto','auto']. Replacing vStart. Gives you full control where the popup should be.
Changed option: follow changed to array of booleans, follow[true,true]. Defines if the popup should follow vertical and/or horizontal.
Changed option: default value for amsl changed from 150px to 50px.
Removed option: vStart, see Position.
Removed feature: the popup doesn’t auto reset input fields or auto focus any more. If you need this feature do the magic inside the onOpen event.
Removed feature: xlink removed from content type. Instead do the xlink stuff inside the onOpen event.
Bugfix: Modal overlay fits whole screen on an iphone in safari.
Known issue: The popup doesn’t center properly when zooming on an iphone in safari.

0.4.1 change-list (17.10.10):

New option: content, now it’s possible to load content into the popup through Ajax or in an iframe. It takes the url from loadUrl.
New option: contentContainer, gives you the possibility to load content into a small area of the popup e.g. a div at the bottom.
Removed option: xLink, use content type instead (content:’xlink’)!

0.4.0 change-list (22.09.10):

Attention: In this update there has been changes that affect how you interact with the popup!
New option: modalClose (should the popup close on click on overlay?)
New way to create the popup.You should now call $(selector).bPopup() instead of $(selector).openPopup().
New way to force popup to close. Force close by calling the public function close(), $(selector).bPopup().close(), instead of triggering the close event with $(‘.bClose’).closePopup(). This will stop cluttering up the $.fn namespace.
Changed default value for opacity from 0.5 to 0.7
Ensures that the same popup can’t be opened twice at a time.
Next update will include support for iframes, generic xlink support and more.

0.3.6 change-list (14.07.10):

0.3.2 change-list:

Auto textfield focus
Resetting textfields before showing popup

0.3.1 change-list:
