How to have a pop-up for a download on my navbar?

I am looking to have a pop-up when someone clicks on my download button on my navbar, but I have been having problems when trying to make it work. Here's an example website. (rubberduckvba.com) I can't link it, it gets marked as spam.

I know I am asking for someone to just write the code, but even just tips would be great =)

I have tried to make a div for each and make it hidden or visible depending on if the user clicked it, but I could not get js to recognize the div I wanted.

fetch('navbar.html').then(res => res.text()).then(text => {
  let oldelem = document.querySelector("script#navbar");
  let newelem = document.createElement("div");
  newelem.innerHTML = text;
  oldelem.parentNode.replaceChild(newelem, oldelem); // Now that the navbar is loaded, set the active link
  const currentPage = window.location.pathname.split("/").pop();
  const navLinks = document.querySelectorAll("nav a.nav-link");
  navLinks.forEach(link => {
    if (link.getAttribute("data-page") === currentPage) {
      link.classList.add("active");
    }
  });
});

marked.use({
  breaks: true
})
async function fetchReadme() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RanchoDVT/Comp-V5/dev/README.md');
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error('README not found');
    const text = await response.text();
    document.getElementById('readme-content').innerHTML = marked.parse(text);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching README:', error);
  }
}

async function fetchChangelog() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RanchoDVT/Comp-V5/dev/changelog.md');
    if (!response.ok) throw new Error('Changelog not found');
    const text = await response.text();
    document.getElementById('changelog-content').innerHTML = marked.parse(text);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching changelog:', error);
  }
}

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  if (document.getElementById('readme-content')) {
    fetchReadme();
  }
  if (document.getElementById('changelog-content')) {
    fetchChangelog();
  }
});


// I hate js, why do I need a DOM loader check?
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {

Here's an example of what I am looking for when a user clicks on a download on my navbar:

what it should look like

Solution

  • To create a pop-up for your download button, you can set up a modal (a div that appears on top of the main content) that only displays when the button is clicked. Here’s a straightforward way to achieve this with JavaScript and CSS.

    Steps

    1. Create a hidden modal in HTML: This will serve as the pop-up.
    2. Write CSS for the modal: Position it so it overlays the screen when visible.
    3. Add JavaScript to handle showing and hiding the modal.

    Explanation

    1. HTML: The modal (<div id="downloadModal" class="modal">) includes a close button (<span class="close">&times;</span>) and download options. It’s hidden by default.
    2. CSS: The .modal class makes the modal cover the whole screen and .modal-content styles the actual pop-up.
    3. JavaScript: Listens for clicks on the download link to show the modal, and on the close button or outside the modal to hide it.

    Example Code

    Here's a simple implementation:

    Let me know if you run into any issues or need further help!

    // JavaScript to control the modal
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
  const modal = document.getElementById('downloadModal');
  const downloadButton = document.querySelector('nav .dropdown .nav-link');
  const closeButton = document.querySelector('.modal .close');

  // Open modal when download button is clicked
  downloadButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
    modal.style.display = 'block';
  });

  // Close modal when the close button is clicked
  closeButton.addEventListener('click', () => {
    modal.style.display = 'none';
  });

  // Close modal if the user clicks outside of the modal content
  window.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
    if (event.target == modal) {
      modal.style.display = 'none';
    }
  });
});
    /* Modal styles */

.modal {
  display: none;
  position: fixed;
  z-index: 1000;
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

.modal-content {
  background-color: #fefefe;
  margin: 15% auto;
  padding: 20px;
  border: 1px solid #888;
  width: 80%;
}

.close {
  color: #aaa;
  float: right;
  font-size: 28px;
  font-weight: bold;
  cursor: pointer;
}

.close:hover,
.close:focus {
  color: #000;
  text-decoration: none;
  cursor: pointer;
}
    <!-- Add this below your navbar -->
<div id="downloadModal" class="modal">
  <div class="modal-content">
    <span class="close">&times;</span>
    <p>Select a download:</p>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="Comp_V3_Stable.zip" download>Comp V3 Stable</a></li>
      <li><a href="Comp_V3_PreRelease.zip" download>Comp V3 Pre-Release</a></li>
      <li><a href="Custom_SDK_Stable.zip" download>Custom SDK Stable</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
