Cooler modal popup example – how to open multiple popups, scrolling pop ups per page

Some time back I came up with a cooler modal pop up window using CSS3 and JavaScript specifically for mobile webkit browsers. The example that I presented had only a single button, a click on it would open a modal pop up window.

In this post I have a similar example but this time multiple pop ups can be opened from the same page. Opening multiple pop up’s from a single page was requested by some of my readers. And here it is. I will not go deep into explaining the bits and parts of how to create a pop up window. You can go through my previous post for that. But first let’s check a demo (meant only for web-kit based browsers):

Demo link (open in iOS or Android’s browser, you can also test this in Chrome or Safari in your computer) :  http://rialab.jbk404.site50.net/coolermultiplemodalpopup/

How to run this in Firefox, IE and other browsers?
For this you need to make changes in the CSS file. Add CSS3 prefixes for other browsers similarly as it is there for -webkit- . CSS3 junkies would already know what I am talking about.

How to detect the orientation of device at page load – iPhone

This is one situation which baffles me sometimes and I face this one regularly while developing mobile web apps – I want to know whether the device is held in portrait or landscape mode when the page first loads and then based on the result I change the look n feel. Remember landscape mode of the device is more wider and the screen width increases, so does the viewport width so you have to adjust your page layout accordingly.
