Nested Modals. Issue with Closing Modals.

Hi all,

I am trying to add some functionality to this setup.
As you will see, it is an attempt to make a nested modal setup, that on every click on a modal link, it recedes and blurs everything behind the modal.

I have managed to make it work, but I am trying to do two things:

  1. make everything fade in and fade out. As of now, the background blurs and recedes slowly, but I would like to control the speed of the modal opening/closing.
  2. make the ESC key close the modals. This is proven difficult, as they are nested…

Thanks all
HTML

This is a nested modal link.

JS
$(function () {
const openModals = [];
$(‘a.modal-button’).click(e => {
e.preventDefault();
$(e.target).closest(’.modal’).add(‘body’).addClass(‘open’);
openModals.push($($(e.target).attr(‘href’)).fadeIn());
});
$(window).add(’.close’).click(e => {
e.stopPropagation();
if ($(e.target).is(’.modal, .close’)) {
const closing = openModals.pop().addClass(‘modal-content-active’);
setTimeout(() => {closing.hide().removeClass(‘modal-content-active’)}, 0);
if (openModals.length > 0) {
openModals[openModals.length - 1].removeClass(‘open’);
} else $(‘body’).removeClass(‘open’);
}
});
});

This is an interesting problem! I haven’t had a chance to look into this in detail yet, but I’ll try my best to over the next couple of days (unless somebody beats me to it!) :slight_smile:

great! thanks for your help

any ideas @kirupa ?

So sorry, but I have been completely swamped, and your question is one that I will need to try various things out to see what is or isn’t feasible. I wish you had an easier question haha :sunny:
