modalDialog jQuery plug-in

###Simple jQuery modal dialog plug-in

Self contained! No additional CSS needed! Flexible! Customizable!

See a Live Demo on Plnkr.co

works with jQuery 1.11.0+

Make a modal out of any element:

$(element).modalDialog();

Open/Close a modal:

$(element).trigger('openModal');
-------------------------------
$(element).trigger('closeModal');

Control how quickly*(in milliseconds)* the modal opens or closes:

$(element).modalDialog({slideSpeed:600});

Change the appearance and behavior of the modal any time you want:

$('#modal1').modalDialog({ header: { text: 'Initial Modal Heading' } });
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. $('#modal1').trigger('openModal');
2. $('#modal1').trigger('openModal', { header: { text: 'I changed the heading', showCloseButton: false } });
3. $('#modal1').trigger('openModal');

1. This opens the modal with id="modal1" and heading will read "Initial Modal Heading"

2. This opens the modal with id="modal1" and changes the heading to read "I changed the heading" as well as hides the close button

3. This opens the modal with id="modal1" and will use the initial settings aka the heading will read "Initial Modal Heading"
