sifnt Modal

Well...it really has been a long time since my last blog entry.  Actually if anything this is my first real blog entry...

I'm a bit of an amatuer web 'coder' and generally, in the interests of learning as much as possible, try to code my own solutions for things rather than use someone elses.

I decided my far-from-finished BillShare Clone project needed a nice pretty modal-style popup box, and although I have written a similar thing before I wasn't entirely happy with it so decided to give someone else's a go.  I came across ModalBox, and it seemed to tick all the boxes - pretty, easy to use, lightweight; I started using it.

Although it worked very well, it failed at one crucial feature, the ability to have a modal appear on top of another Modal.  Frustrated, but inspired by it's design, I 'borrowed' some of it's elements (And all of it's CSS) and wrote my own from scratch.
