Changing modal popup trigger from button click to on page load

Question

I have a modal on my page. Currently, it is set to pop up when you press a button. However, I want it to pop up when the page loads. Ideally, it would only popup the first time a user visits the site.

The snippet:

 // Popup Window var scrollTop = ''; var newHeight = '100'; $(window).bind('scroll', function () { scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop(); newHeight = scrollTop + 100; }); $('.popup-trigger').click(function (e) { e.stopPropagation(); if (jQuery(window).width() < 767) { $(this).after($(".popup")); $('.popup').show().addClass('popup-mobile').css('top', 0); $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $('.popup').offset().top }, 500); } else { $('.popup').removeClass('popup-mobile').css('top', newHeight).toggle(); } ; }); $('html').click(function () { $('.popup').hide(); }); $('.popup-btn-close').click(function (e) { $('.popup').hide(); }); $('.popup').click(function (e) { e.stopPropagation(); }); 

 .popup-trigger { display: block; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px; max-width: 260px; background: #4EBD79; color: #fff; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 700; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase; line-height: 24px; cursor: pointer; } .popup { display: none; position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 50%; width: 700px; margin-left: -350px; padding: 50px 30px; background: #fff; color: #333; font-size: 19px; line-height: 30px; border: 10px solid #150E2D; z-index: 9999; } .popup-mobile { position: relative; top: 0; left: 0; margin: 30px 0 0; width: 100%; } .popup-btn-close { position: absolute; top: 8px; right: 14px; color: #4EBD79; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; cursor: pointer; } 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <a class="popup-trigger">Open Pop Up</a> <div class="main"> Page text </div> <div class="popup"> Modal Text <span class="popup-btn-close">close</span> </div> 

I don't want to use popup-trigger button anymore, I just want to have the modal show up when the page loads.

I have tried replacing $('.popup-trigger').click(function(e) {

with: $(document).load(function() {

no luck there.

Any ideas? Also, i just got into cookies, but not sure how they work. How would I have it such that it only appears the first time someone visits the site per certain time frame, eg per day.

Answer 1

You can perfom this by storing a cookies information (to check first visite of a user) and also use jquery ready to open the poupu on startup after checking the cookies .

Here you can find a Fiddle ( stack snippet doesn't give permission to use cookies , run the fiddle twice then the pupup will disapear )

PS : I ve created show popup function to prevent duplicate code, also i've removed the line //$ (this).after($(".popup")); which remove the div popup ??!

Also I used Jquery cookie lib to access and et cookies

See code here

JS :

var scrollTop = '';
var newHeight = '100';

$(function() {
    console.log($.cookie("openPop"));
    if($.cookie('openPop')){
      $.cookie('openPop',false);
      showPopup();
    }
    else 
      $.cookie('name',true);
});

$(window).bind('scroll', function() {
  scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
  newHeight = scrollTop + 100;
});

$('.popup-trigger').click(function(e) {
  e.stopPropagation();
  showPopup();
});


function showPopup() {
  scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop();
  newHeight = scrollTop + 100;

  if (jQuery(window).width() < 767) {
    //$(this).after($(".popup"));
    $('.popup').show().addClass('popup-mobile').css('top', 0);
    $('html, body').animate({
      scrollTop: $('.popup').offset().top
    }, 500);
  } else {
    $('.popup').removeClass('popup-mobile').css('top', newHeight).toggle();
  };
}

$('html').click(function() {
  $('.popup').hide();
});

$('.popup-btn-close').click(function(e) {
  $('.popup').hide();
});

$('.popup').click(function(e) {
  e.stopPropagation();
});

CSS :

.popup-trigger {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 20px;
  max-width: 260px;
  background: #4EBD79;
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 18px;
  font-weight: 700;
  text-align: center;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  line-height: 24px;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.popup {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  top: 100px;
  left: 50%;
  width: 700px;
  margin-left: -350px;
  padding: 50px 30px;
  background: #fff;
  color: #333;
  font-size: 19px;
  line-height: 30px;
  border: 10px solid #150E2D;
  z-index: 9999;
}

.popup-mobile {
  position: relative;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  margin: 30px 0 0;
  width: 100%;
}

.popup-btn-close {
  position: absolute;
  top: 8px;
  right: 14px;
  color: #4EBD79;
  font-size: 14px;
  font-weight: bold;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  cursor: pointer;
}

Answer 2

Instead of adding click listeners, why don't you try calling the $('.popup').show() directly after onload. Check this fiddle, hope it works for you. https://jsfiddle.net/kajalc/h4fomm5q/

If this is fine then the button and its event can be removed from the script.

Removed use of button to trigger the modal. Check this, if it works for you.

 // Popup Window var scrollTop = ''; var newHeight = '100'; if (jQuery(window).width() < 767) { $('.popup').show().addClass('popup-mobile').css('top', 0); $('html, body').animate({ scrollTop: $('.popup').offset().top }, 500); } else { $('.popup').removeClass('popup-mobile').css('top', newHeight).toggle(); } $(window).bind('scroll', function() { scrollTop = $(window).scrollTop(); newHeight = scrollTop + 100; }); $('.popup-btn-close').click(function(e) { $('.popup').hide(); }); 

 .popup { display: none; position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 50%; width: 700px; margin-left: -350px; padding: 50px 30px; background: #fff; color: #333; font-size: 19px; line-height: 30px; border: 10px solid #150E2D; z-index: 9999; } .popup-mobile { position: relative; top: 0; left: 0; margin: 30px 0 0; width: 100%; } .popup-btn-close { position: absolute; top: 8px; right: 14px; color: #4EBD79; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; text-transform: uppercase; cursor: pointer; } 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div class="main"> Page text </div> <div class="popup"> Modal Text <span class="popup-btn-close">close</span> </div>
