superherogeek September 25th, 2016 Hi All,
I'm working on a matching game based on the matching game tutorial found on this site, with my own tweaks to fit the need. I'm at the point where I need to show some text (about 1 - 2 paragraphs) when a match is made in the game. I know how to make it all work with the alerts, but I'd much rather use a lightbox. I've written code for lightboxes in the past, but I can't remember how to call them up from a .js file.
In my example, if a student matches the image of a windows screen to the text "Windows", they should get a popup explaining some of the history of the widnows operating system. Again, I know how to write a popup, but no clue how to call it from within wade.
Any guidance would be appreciated. I'm happy to share the project files.
Thanks.

When using WADE, there is nothing special that you need to do to interface with other js libraries - you just do what you would normally do on a web page.
I am not familiar with lightbox.js, but I have used a similar thing called fancybox.
With fancybox, you just create a div and do:
$('#yourDivName').fancybox();
superherogeek September 26th, 2016 Thanks Gio,
I appreciate the guidance. I got stubborn and managed to write it in with other things I wanted in the program as well. But I'll keep this in mind for the next thing I work on. It's been years since I've done this kind of thing so it was fun. I have a small suggestion to make, I would suggest a new audio tutorial. I followed the one I watched on clockworkshilli.com and when I used the code playIfAvailable I got a notice that it was being phased out. Then, I didn't know to add the audio to the Audio section of the file (on the right hand side of the screen) so it took me a while to figure out why the audio didn't work.
Just a thought.
Thanks for your useful replies, I appreciate it.
