# Popup

The popup widget can be used for various types of popups. From a small tooltip popup to a large photo lightbox.

## Popup basics

To create a popup, add the `data-role="popup"` attribute to a div with the popup contents. Then create a link with the `href` set to the `id` of the popup div, and add the attribute `data-rel="popup"` to tell the framework to open the popup when the link is tapped. A popup div has to be nested inside the same page as the link.

Basic Popup

This is a completely basic popup, no options set.

## Tooltip

A tooltip can be created by adding a theme swatch to a basic popup and adding padding via the `ui-content` class. Here we also show how you can custom style the tooltip button.

Here is a tiny popup being used like a tooltip. The text will wrap to multiple lines as needed.

## Photo lightbox

A lightbox for displaying images can be created easily by placing an image in a popup. In this example, a close button is added to the markup by adding a link. The `data-overlay-theme="b"` attribute adds a dark backdrop behind the photos. For advanced photo techniques, see scaling images in popups.

## Form

You can place a form inside a popup. When it opens, focus will be restricted to elements inside the popup.

## Dialog

Standard dialog markup can be placed into a popup. To create a modal style dialog, add the `data-dismissible="false"` attribute to the popup to prevent the click-outside-to-close behavior so people need to interact with popup buttons to close it.

## Adding padding

For popups with formatted text, padding is needed. The `ui-content` class can be added to the popup to add the standard 15px of padding. When padding is added, we apply a few style rules to negate the top margin for the first heading or paragraph in the popup and do the same for the last element's bottom margin.

This is a popup with the `ui-content` class added to the popup container.

## Closing popups

By default popups can be closed either by clicking outside the popup widget or by pressing the `Esc` key. To prevent this, the `data-dismissible="false"` attribute can be added to the popup. To add an explicit close button to a popup, add a link with the role of button into the popup container with a `data-rel="back"` attribute and position via a class.

I have the `data-dismissible` attribute set to `false`. I'm not closeable by clicking outside of me.

## Position

By default, popups open centered vertically and horizontally over the element you clicked (the origin) which is good for popups used as tooltips or menus. If a popup should appear centered within the window instead of over the origin, add the `data-position-to` attribute to the link and specify a value of `window`. It's also possible to specify any valid selector as the value of `position-to` in addition to `origin` and `window`.

Position to window Position to origin Position to #position-header

I am positioned to the window.

I am positioned over the origin.

I am positioned over the header for this section via a selector. If the header isn't scrolled into view, collision detection will place the popup so it's in view.

## Transitions

By default, popups have no transition to make them open as quickly as possible. To set the transition used for a popup, add the `data-transition` attribute to the link that references the popup. The reverse transition will be used when closing the popup. For performance reasons on mobile devices, we recommend using simpler transitions like pop, fade or none for smooth and fast popup animations.

## Theme

The popup has two theme-related options: `data-theme` and `data-overlay-theme`. The `data-theme` option refers to the theme of the popup itself, whereas `data-overlay-theme` controls the semi-opaque layer behind the popup. The theme is inherited from the page; specify `data-theme="none"` for a popup with a transparent background.

Overlay theme A

Theme B + overlay A

I have `data-theme="b"` and `data-overlay-theme="a"` set on me

## Arrow

The popup can display an arrow along one of its edges when it opens if the `data-arrow` attribute is set. The attribute can take a value of `true`, `false`, or a string containing a comma-separated list of edge abbreviations ("l" for left, "t" for top, "r" for right, and "b" for bottom). For example, if you set `data-arrow="r,b"` then the arrow will only ever appear along the bottom or right edge of the popup. `true` is the same as `"l,t,r,b"` and `false` or `""` indicates that the popup should be displayed without an arrow.

Click in the pink area below to display a popup with an arrow.
