Close Pop Up Trigger
419 0 2
I'm trying to create an interaction where pressing the Close button on a pop-up triggers the previous element on the page to hide and a new element to show. Is it possible to achieve that (perhaps by leveraging JavaScript in the conditions)?

I believe when you say "close" button in a pop up you are referrring to the out of the box close button. While that button is not configurable you could:
- Utilize the action that opens the pop up to also trigger the additional changes you are wanting. Basically tie a couple actions to that one action.
- You could create a custom option where you display something on the page, and then have a custom "close" button that hides that item and performs the other actions.
Would either of those approaches work?

Hi Paul, thanks for taking the time to reply.
Sadly, the answer is "no, neither of those approaches work". We had started with option 1 and realized for example that where there are two items, activating selector #1 shows the popup (definition for the #1) concurrent with the selector #2, which could cause learners to associate the #2 selector with the #1 definition. The #2 selector should not be available until after the #1 definition is acknowledged (OK/Close). Option 2 was not successful because we're bound by the real-estate of the row/column that holds the image/interaction and our customer very much likes the anchoredness of the popup. We've tried a custom option that was unwieldy, especially when it gets called 17 times in a single interactive experience. Maybe you have instructions for something more elegant? Or an API/jscript to increase popup event handling flexibility? TY!
Hmm then you may try using our content API
There is a content API option to close the window along with an option to set variables. You could add an HTML widget that has a button that closes the window and sets a variable when XYZ happens and then on the page have an action (hide/show) based on variable change.
If you want to got the extra mile, your theme could be set to hide teh default close button on the lightbox too.
