How To Create Popups

Step 1) Add HTML:

Example
<div class="popup" onclick="myFunction()">Click me!
<span class="popuptext" id="myPopup">Popup text...</span>
</div>

Step 2) Add CSS:


Example

/* Popup container */
.popup {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
cursor: pointer;
}

/* The actual popup (appears on top) */
.popup .popuptext {
visibility: hidden;
width: 160px;
background-color: #555;
color: #fff;
text-align: center;
border-radius: 6px;
padding: 8px 0;
position: absolute;
z-index: 1;
bottom: 125%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -80px;
}

/* Popup arrow */
.popup .popuptext::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -5px;
border-width: 5px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #555 transparent transparent transparent;
}

/* Toggle this class when clicking on the popup container (hide and show the popup) */
.popup .show {
visibility: visible;
-webkit-animation: fadeIn 1s;
animation: fadeIn 1s
}

/* Add animation (fade in the popup) */
@-webkit-keyframes fadeIn {
from {opacity: 0;}
to {opacity: 1;}
}

@keyframes fadeIn {
from {opacity: 0;}
to {opacity:1 ;}
}

Step 3) Add JavaScript:



Example

<script>
// When the user clicks on <div>, open the popup
function myFunction() {
var popup = document.getElementById("myPopup");
popup.classList.toggle("show");
}
</script>
