Control.Modal 2.0 RC1 Online

Control.Modal 2.0 RC1 is officially up now with full documentation. Biggest changes are:

• No more responders (use Object.Event instead, coming very soon)
• fade and loading animations
• fixed a number of display bugs, if you still have problems submit them to the forum!

The help text to more granular AJAX with the new modal 2.0RC1 has not changed, however it does not work correctly anymore. For some reason, that I dont fully get, the 2.0RC1 binds the AJAX.Request.onComplete to the class Control.Modal, this not exhibiting the update method.

Since I could not figure out a way to access update on the bound "this" I had to work around it, very very ugly:

        var articleModal = new Control.Modal(false, {
          position: 'absolute',
          contents: function(){
              new Ajax.Request('/sumtin/find?ref='+$('ref_lookup').value,{
                  onComplete: function(request){Control.Modal.current.update(request.responseText);}.bind(this)});
              return "Loading...";
      }});

Help?

Not sure I understand fully, can you paste in your exact code that works in the old version so I can duplicate and understand?

2.0RC1 does not work for me, but it works with 1.5.0

I use :

    init_cat();
    $A(document.getElementsByClassName('linkmodal')).each(function(link){
            new Control.Modal(link,{opacity: 0, position: 'relative', width: 600,height: 300});
        });
