For personal reasons, it's been six months since I sat down and updated my website, and I've gone a bit rusty on using WWB, so I am looking for some inspiration, please.
I am trying to create a calendar that would have the names of the twelve months in a grid (I can do this bit easily enough using cards). What I would like to achieve is a text box to open up in front (taking up the full width of the page) when you click on a card that could contain an image as well as text, and that could be closed again with a button or similar. Any ideas, please?
I'm just looking for suggestions rather than a ready-made solution.
Thank you!

You could use a dialog to open a popup.

Re: Calendar Idea
Thanks for the idea - I shall have a play. Can a dialog go inside a layout grid container?

Re: Calendar Idea
A dialog is just a pop-up.that works in a similar fashion to a lightbox. It can be triggered by either text or a button onclick so yes this will go inside a Layout Grid once opened with the contents it can be closed by onclick of the x to the top right.Can a dialog go inside a layout grid container?
You could also implement a read more/less where the user clicks a button or text and further text and a image gets displayed/hidden.
Although this is a third party script it can be done in WWB.

Re: Calendar Idea
This works well, but I am not sure what is supposed to happen if I set a breakpoint. At the moment, nothing seems to happen to it (I have not added any content to it yet).

Re: Calendar Idea
You can set the contents flexible by setting it to child postiion/floating. You can have as many breakpoints sizes as needed as the dialog is responsive.
