How to load local html / PHP content into an iframe using modal popup? (html5, javascript and/or CSS) ?
I need to load a formatted html file (b.html) within a modal popup which is launched from a local html file (a.html)
The content of b.html is formatted to 800px x 600px and I would like to be able to display this content within the modal popup without any scroll bars showing.
I would also like to be able to close the modal by clicking an 'X' on the top right of the modal box and no where else on the modal or background...
Please can you provide any help and ideally detailed examples or instructions on how I can go about doing this using modern methods, if possible.
Many Thanks

Thank you fraigor - do you know how I can remove the scroll bars and resize the pop up? Please see a screen shot below:
Hi,
As a quick update I found how to remove the scroll bars from the inner (iframe?) page.
I added the below to the b.html page which is loaded within the pop up:
I tried doing the same on the a.html (parent) page but I can't remove the horizontal scroll bar and the popup window also remains a fixed small width no matter what pixel number I set in the section below (it does however respond to the height setting!):
Any pointers you can give will be much appreciated, thank you for your help!

Try using the dialog options like this example (autoresize, automatic width/height)
And only setting initial iframe width/height
See an example https://jsfiddle.net/03tn85nm/2/
And only setting initial iframe width/height
$(function() {
$( "#dialog" ).dialog({
autoResize: true,
width: "auto",
height: "auto",
modal: false,
title: 'Modal title',
position: ['top', 'center']
});
});

Thanks, I have been trying to crack this for hours and cant seem to see how to over-ride the default width settings of 300px regardless of what is set locally. I tried touse examples from the link above with no success...
Should I download the jQuery UI libs locally and manually edit the script/component that is controlling this and then point my pages to the local version?
Many thanks, this has been driving me crazy...

Ensure you are using this configuration:
In HEAD include the jquery , jquery-ui and jquery-ui css (also you can download and link it locally )
<head>
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jqu
<script src="//code.jquery.com/ui/
<link rel=stylesheet href="//code.jquery.com/ui
</head>
Your dialog (there is the place to fix the iframe width )
The javascript code to initialize dialog (in body, no position)
using the options from the example you can get it working.
