Simple Modal
Foundation makes it easy to implement image modals.
To create a popup, you can
<ul>add to element.clearing-thumbsclass anddata-clearingAttribute. In<ul>Add a list of images inside.
Note:Image modals require JavaScript. So you need to initialize Foundation JS before using it.
Example
<li><a href="rock600x400.jpg" class="th"><img src="rock200x100.jpg"></a></li>
<li><a href="skies600x400.jpg" class="th"><img src="skies200x100.jpg"></a></li>
<li><a href="lights600x400.jpg" class="th"><img src="lights200x100.jpg"></a></li>
</ul>
<!-- Initialize Foundation JS -->
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).foundation();
})
</script>
