In-page windows

March 27th, 2006

Tired of those popups and ugly JavaScript dialog boxes? Sébastien Gruhier has a solution for you, based on the Prototype JavaScript Framework and support for script.aculo.us effects goodness:

Prototype JavaScript Windows

You can open pure in-page windows, or load in a an entirely different URL, via the included support for IFRAMEs.

Sébastien doesn’t stop there, but also put up a cool debugging extension, which you can put to use when developing JavaScript stuff.

Of course everything is skinnable with CSS. So, hop over to the site and enjoy the demos, and see the blog entry to leave comments.

P.S. All that is served with a MIT license—free to use for any purpose. Rock on, Sébastien :)
