This is probably really simple but I'm having a rough time getting this thing working. I'm using the simple modal plugin: http://www.ericmmartin.com/proje…
I have the following link in my mark-up:
<a class="iconVirtualTour" href="../images/galleries.gif"><span>Click here blah blah</span></a>
This is the script I'm using:
$(document).ready(function() {
var linkValue = $(this).attr('href');
$('a.iconVirtualTour').click(fun... {
e.preventDefault();
linkValue.modal();
});
});I just want the value of the href attribute passed to the modal window (in this case the galleries.gif).
Both jQuery and the plugin js is included. Little help? What am I doing wrong?

var linkValue = $(this).attr('href');
that has to be inside the click function. as it is, "this" is referring to document, not your anchor

Hmmmm. I've moved it inside the click function and still no dice.

oh, i didn't actually read that page you linked...
"As a chained jQuery function, you can call the modal() function on a jQuery element and a modal dialog will be displayed using the contents of that element."
this means you have to pass it a reference to an html element, like a div. you then have to separately load the content using the jquery load method and target that same element.
