nyroModal :: jQuery Plugin
by camel

Les graphistes aiment de plus en plus utiliser des fenêtre modales; elles fournissent en effet un moyen rapide et efficace pour montrer des informations sans recharger une page entière. C'est facile d'utiliser et de designer.
Le gros problème auquel j'ai été confonté avec tous les plugins que j'ai essayés —utilisant Prototype/Scriptaculous ou jQuery— est la personnalisation. Tous disent que vous pouvez programmer ce que vous voulez très simplement mais ce n'est pas aussi simple. La CSS par défaut fonctionne bien mais dans la plupart des cas est un mélange entre les éléments obligatoires et optionnels. Ce qui implique que vous devez être très attentif quand vous l'éditez.
L'autre problème concerne les animations. C'est le pire. Je n'ai jamais trouvé un plugin permettant de redéfénir simplement les animations.
J'ai essayé de résoudre ces problèmes avec mon plugin. J'ai documenté le plus possible. La CSS par défaut ne contient que les options graphiques. Sans elle, le plugin marchera parfaitement —mais sera aussi très laid. Concernant les animations, vous pouvez simplement les redéfinir de A à Z. Grâce aux fonctions d'animation de jQuery comme animate, fadeTo ou le futur enchant, c'est très simple.
De plus, j'ai aujouté la possibilité de définir beaucoup de callback à différents moments durant le processus pour vous permettre de modifier les paramètres, le contenu ou exécuter ce que vous voulez.
