Popups API (Ajax Dialogs)

starbow - December 11, 2007 - 01:00

API for building modal ajax dialogs. Its focus is on putting forms inside of ajax popup dialogs.
Current example can present pages as popups (of the lightbox type). This is amazingly useful for things like confirmation pages. And the best part is it can be applied retroactively to a page without needing to modify the generating module, and (of course) it degrades gracefully.
