Multiple Modals on One Page

I've just learned how to make modal boxes using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Making one modal box isn't very hard for me at all. My problem is creating multiple modal boxes for the same page. The page I'm building now needs 3 different modals (the look is exactly the same, but the text needs to be different). So far, only the first one is appearing on the page. How can I get all 3 of them to appear when their individual buttons are pressed? I've tried renaming the classes but it's not working.

Please help.

Here is an example of 3 modals on a page:


A couple other notes:

Please note the HTML changes. You should strive to use the most appropriate HTML element in each situation. For example, wrapping your "button" image in an actual button HTML element (style appropriately via CSS) and, equally important, giving the img some appropriate alt text.

Also, the <font> element is obsolete. See this image:

Use inline styles instead, if you must, on the appropriate element. Better yet, add CSS to appropriate elements via an external style sheet or embedded in the <head> of your...

Couple things might work here. You could have the content dynamic based on which button is clicked. I won't get into how as I have no idea what you are building or with what. I'm sure JS could be used. Off the top of my head, I'd say the issue is that the 3 modals are referenced via IDs and all 3 modals currently have the same ID.

I also highly recommend the site caniuse.com. Very helpful for feature support.

Thank you SO much for your help! I had been struggling with this issue and driving myself completely batty for quite a while trying to figure things out. I have one last question for you regarding the script. I've noticed that you used the for each method for the modals. Would I be correct in assuming that if I were to add more modals that the JS script would work as is and not have to be changed? I'm just asking for future reference. Thanks again for the help. I really appreciate all you've done.

You are correct, as long as the additional HTML modal elements have the necessary 'data-modal' attributes and the classes needed by the script.
