Code Explanation

HTML Code

Open Modal Button:
<button id="openModalBtn" class="modal-btn">Open Modal</button>
  • This <button> element has an ID attribute set to "openModalBtn" and a class attribute set to "modal-btn".
  • The text inside the button is "Open Modal", indicating its purpose to open the modal dialog when clicked.
Modal Container:
<div id="modal" class="modal">
  <div class="modal-content">
    <span class="close">×</span>
    <h2>Modal Header</h2>
    <p>This is a responsive modal.</p>
  </div>
</div>
  • This <div> element represents the modal container and has an ID attribute set to "modal" and a class attribute set to "modal".
  • Inside the modal container, there's another <div> element with the class "modal-content". This element holds the content of the modal.
  • Inside the modal content, there's a <span> element with the class "close" and the content "×". This creates a close button with an "×" symbol.
  • Following the close button, there's an <h2> element with the text "Modal Header", serving as the header of the modal.
  • Lastly, there's a <p> element with the text "This is a responsive modal.", providing some content for the modal.

  • When the screen width is 600 pixels or less, the width of the modal content is reduced to 90% to ensure better display on smaller screens. This improves the responsiveness of the modal dialog.

JavaScript Code

Opening the Modal:
document.getElementById('openModalBtn').addEventListener('click', function () {
  document.getElementById('modal').style.display = 'block';
});
  • This code adds an event listener to the button with the ID "openModalBtn", typically used to open the modal.
  • When the button is clicked, the anonymous function is executed.
  • Within the function, it sets the display style property of the modal element (identified by the ID "modal") to "block", making it visible.
Closing the Modal (by clicking the close button):
document.getElementsByClassName('close')[0].addEventListener('click', function () {
  document.getElementById('modal').style.display = 'none';
});
  • This code adds an event listener to the first element with the class "close", typically representing the close button inside the modal.
  • When the close button is clicked, the anonymous function is executed.
  • Within the function, it sets the display style property of the modal element to "none", hiding it.
Closing the Modal (by clicking outside the modal):
window.onclick = function (event) {
  if (event.target == document.getElementById('modal')) {
    document.getElementById('modal').style.display = 'none';
  }
};
  • This code assigns a function to the onclick event of the window object.
  • When the user clicks anywhere on the window, the function is executed with the event object as its argument.
  • It checks if the clicked element (event.target) is the modal itself (identified by the ID "modal").
  • If the clicked element is modal, it sets the display style property of the modal element to "none", hiding it.
