# jQuery popup the easy way

Here is a fast and easy way to create jQuery popup.

    // --- code popup ---
    function openPopup() {
        $(this).clone(false).appendTo($("#_code"));
        $("#_code").show();
    }

    function closePopup() {
        $("#_code").html("");
        $("#_code").hide();
    }

    function initCode() {
        $(".code").click(openPopup);
        $(".code").css({cursor: "pointer"});
        $('body').append('<div id="_code"></div>');
        $('#_code').css( { 'text-align': "justify", position: "fixed",
                            left:0, top:0, width: "100%", height: "100%",
                            "background-color": "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.8)", 'z-index':2000, 'padding':'3px'} );
        $('#_code').hide();
        $('#_code').click(closePopup);
    }
    // --- end of code popup section ---

What does this code do?

At the loading of the page, I create a `div` as wide as the window. This `div` is a bit transparent. Then I hide it. I also take care to its `z-index` value to be sure it is behind all elements.

Then when we click on a `div` of class `code`, I copy the content into this new wide `div`, and I show it. Really simple but really efficient. No need to use a `jQuery` plugin.
