Screen Overlays made Easy
April 6, 2008 at 20:19 Modal-overlay is a tiny Rails plugin to make screen overlays really simple to do. The helper gives you two new methods: link_to_show_overlay and link_to_hide_overlay. Here is an example:
<%= link_to_show_overlay 'Open Form', new_user %>If you want the details please see the page dedicated to the modal-overlay plugin.
Oh! And I've even managed to finish my first screencast. It's still rough on the edges but I think it's not so bad for a first attempt.

Hi again,
I've just posted a change on the subversion server to fix the overlay positioning problem.
The screen overlay now covers the entire page even when scrollable and the overlay-window remains in the "middle" of the screen even if you try to scroll.
The changes also take advantage of the new Lowpro behaviours for a little re-factoring.
Cheers,
