jqModal
=======

jqModal is a plugin for jQuery to help you display modals, popups, and notices. It is flexible and tiny, akin to a "Swiss Army Knife", and provides a great base for your windowing needs.


Features
========

* Designer Frieldly - Use *your* HTML+CSS for Layout and Styling
* Translator/i18n friendly - No hardcoded English strings
* Developer friendly - Extensible through callbacks to make anything possible (gallery slideshows, video-conferencing, &c)
* Simple support for remotely loaded content (aka "ajax")
* Multiple Modals per page (including nested Modal-in-Modal)
* Supported by all browsers capable of running jQuery 1.2.3+

=====

<a 
  class="button"
