I have the following modal working,
http://jsfiddle.net/kumarmuthaliar/GG9Sa/1/
on my site. It's exactly what I want in terms of ease of use, and function. The only issue I have is how to make the modal close when the user either A) Clicks outside the modal window, or B) Hits the Escape key.
Any suggestions?
<a href="#openModal">Open Modal</a>
<div id="openModal" class="modalDialog">
<div> <a href="#close" title="Close" class="close">X</a>
<h2>Modal Box</h2>
<p>This is a sample modal box that can be created using the powers of CSS3.</p>
<p>You could do a lot of things here like have a pop-up ad that shows when your website loads, or create a login/register form for users.</p>
</div>
</div>
.modalDialog {
position: fixed;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;

background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8);

opacity:0;
-webkit-transition: opacity 400ms ease-in;

.modalDialog:target {

.close:hover {

just write these lines in your head tag
For this you will need a little javascript. Check the code with some comments.

Note, that closing modal is technically possible with CSS/HTML only, however for handling Escape key press you will need Javascript.
