Is the position of modals fixed?
Modals use position: fixed , which can sometimes be a bit particular about its rendering. Whenever possible, place your modal HTML in a top-level position to avoid potential interference from other elements. You'll likely run into issues when nesting a . modal within another fixed element.
What is the difference between fixed and absolute positioning?
Absolutely positioned elements are positioned with respect to a containing block, which is the nearest postioned ancestor. If there is no positioned ancestor, the viewport will be the containing block. Elements with fixed positioning are fixed with respect to the viewport—the viewport is always their containing block.
What does a modal window do?
A modal (also called a modal window or lightbox) is a web page element that displays in front of and deactivates all other page content. To return to the main content, the user must engage with the modal by completing an action or by closing it.
What is a modal window example?
Websites often use modal windows as call-to-action tools and for pointing out important information. For example, the call-to-action in a modal window might ask the site visitor to subscribe to the site's newsletter.
