Some of the args don't work when used as URL arguments.

automodalReload works just fine. Example:

<a class="automodal" href="/user/login?automodalReload=true">log in now</a>

However height and autoFit don't seem to work. Example:

<a class="automodal" href="/user/login?automodalReload=true&height=265&autoFit=FALSE">log in now</a>

or even just:

<a class="automodal" href="/user/login?height=265">log in now</a>

I'm trying to set the height along with the link to avoid the autoFit animation.

If those attributes are not designed to work as URL arguments, then this could be categorized as a feature request.

I know this is most likely not the correct way to do this but it works. I wasn't able to figure out how the other args were working so I just did it this way.
Inside the js file goto the line that reads
settings.url += 'automodal=true';
paste this right under

link_href = $(this).attr('href');
var vars = [], hash;
var hashes = link_href.slice(link_href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
{
  hash = hashes[i].split('=');
  vars.push(hash[0]);
  vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
}
if(vars["width"]){
  settings.width = Number(vars["width"]);
}

I would imagine for height you would do what I did for width. I didn't have time to make a patch right now. I didn't really bother since this is more of a temp fix until the module author fixes this issue.

i found the code to get the query pram's from http://jquery-howto.blogspot.com/2009/09/get-url-parameters-values-with-...

This is an interesting feature idea, thanks! I'm not sure it'll be with GET arguments (because the page has to be fully loaded for those to have an effect and the modal is shown right away) but it could be done with some other property on the link. For now, you can modify this in Javascript with Drupal.automodal.settingsAlter in a custom module.
