I have one link with an id of "link", and I use the javascript below to open that link up in a modalbox:
#In my template I have:
<a href="some/path" id="link">link</a>
#Then in my application.js file I have:
document.observe('dom:loaded', function() {
$('login-link').observe('click', function(event) {
event.stop();
Modalbox.show(this.href,{title: 'some title', width: 500});
});
})
Since id's must be unique, this javascript only works for one element per page so I use it to observe my login-link and it has served me well. Until now.
I want to use the same javascript to observe multiple links which have classnames instead of id's as below:
<a href="link/to/some/stuff" class="link">link 1</a>
<a href="link/to/some/other/stuff" class="link">link 2</a>
When I do this, I can't get any of the links to open in a modalbox. If I change the class to an id for each link, then I can get the first link in the list to open in a modalbox.
I've tried to use the '$$' notation to build an array of links in my javascript (shown below) but if I do that, then none of the links open correctly
#document.observe method removed for display purposes
$$('link').observe('click', function(event) {
event.stop();
Modalbox.show(this.href,{title: 'some title', width: 500} );
});
My javascript skills obviously suck.
Does anyone know how to fix the problem?
