Some bonus features to simplemodal

[cballou]

Hey Eric,

I added a number of features to simple modal as it wasn't covering all edge cases I needed for a project. The main functionality I improved upon was calculations in getDimensions(), which now allows for better resizing based on the nested document contents. It does bounds checking on the viewport to ensure the container does not exceed the window size.

I also went ahead and added animation handling to autoResize() so the container now expands and contracts on either update() or when the $(document).resize() fires.

The last thing, and I'm not so sure what I may have broken, was that the setTimeout() of 10 ms on close causes problems when trying to perform a number of consecutive calls to $.modal.close() followed by $.modal.X. Either way, take a look at the code and feel free to merge it once fully tested. I'm sure there are still a few edge cases considering the amount of dimension calculations I modified, but it seems to be working pretty well.

Hi Corey,

I just found this in my spam folder, so sorry for not responding sooner.

Thanks for providing your updates. I'll be sure to take a look at them when
I get a chance to work on SimpleModal!

ahhhhh... the animation on update()! thank you for doing this Corey - it's awesome!

Oh, and Eric - just because I know you love having random internet plebs tell you that you should spend your time doing things for them because they feel that people who give stuff away for free are somehow making themselves obliged to serve "society" which they wholeheartedly believe includes their every problem and whim... let's get this in the formal simplemodal 1.5 package, ok? wink

I found the auto animation not a good core feature, prefer to implement a resize of own decision based on application using the simple modal, it's simple for a good reason. thanks though.
