This sound like a really dumb question, but for the life of me I cannot find something that works.
I want to trigger a modal/dialog box for some basic content. Its just HTML, not the login page or password reset or webform, or an image. I just want to pop some content into the modal box.
Whats the best way to do this? I ideally I would be able to control the dimensions of the window.
You can use lightbox module to achieve that, but note if you want to open a modal content you need to use rel="lightframe" as an attribute for the <a> tag.
Also don't forget the Library of the module.
Try the Overlay Paths module
This is a simple module that enables site builders to use the built-in Overlay for non-admin pages.
This means that you can use the overlay for doing popups without adding yet more javascript libraries to your site.
This module provides a simple UI for defining paths to appear in the overlay, but developers can use it to define paths too, see the overlay_paths.api.php file in the module for details.
