hello people,

I’m searching for a pop up modal window plugin for rails that would  
work in IE and firefow. It seems redbox doesn’t work in IE by now. I’m  
looking for something a little bit fancy like  
[http://nyromodal.nyrodev.com/](http://nyromodal.nyrodev.com/)  
but for rails. I’ve been searching quite a lot and it seems the best  
plugin would be redbox or lightbox gone wild, but then is there a way  
to customize the way the modal popup appears ?

Regards,

Joel

ModalBox.

Just a recommendation, I’m not a guru on it. We used it at my old job  
for a  
short while.

I’m currently doing some research into this myself. I’m experimenting  
with prototype-ui right now, but am open to other possibilities.

Peace,
