Description

The ability to open in a floating box allows you to create a Plugin which is small in size and does not take up much room on your design, but which can still have a larger mode or form if a Visitor interacts with it.

For example, the CMS ships with a Plugin which allows Visitors to email a link to the page that they are on. This appears as a link on the page, however when a Visitor clicks the link a larger form appears floating above the page, which lets them enter in an email address and a message.

Note that this logic relies on JavaScript to function. You may wish to include alternate logic to support Visitors without JavaScript, for example there could be a link to take them to a different page in the CMS.
