Exit Shim
In my experiments with building pages I have added external links and I have removed them. The reason for this is many-fold. While I have no reason to be a "Look-up service" I think that links to other websites are actually useful.
My current template has three types of shim linking.
- HShim
- WShim
- regShim
This page will have an example of the Exit Shim and I will probably want to reword the modal dialog.
The example of an "Exit Shim": Bayeux Tapestry online
Note: The example takes the visitor to the Bayeux Tapestry website there is a script that runs the online presentation of the tapestry. To get there the "visit" link can be clicked.
The w3-modal
The Shims that I had developed to date use the W3 Shim implementation.
The code for the shim can be seem in the stylesheet for the W3 Framework. This uses the class w3-modal and similar to the window.alert() HTML method. This modal is closed by hiding it, it requires user input to allow the visitor to continue.
It would be better to have a Modal that times-out after a period of time.
