[Feature Request] Prevent popup close when tapping/clicking outside of the popup box

[erez-rabih]

Hi everyone,

I hope I'm not missing something very basic here but that's my request:

When I open a popup, I want that clicks outside of the popup box won't close it, so the user must choose an option of the popup before the application responds to any interaction.

I'd be glad to implement it myself, just thought to post a message here to verify it is not present in current version, and there's no obvious way to achieve it.

Thnx in advance

Hi @erez-rabih !

You've missed nothing. Until now, preventing a popup from closing has not been implemented.
There is already a feature request for this functionality #4727
and it's also in the wiki at https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/wiki/Feature-Requests.

We're going to add this feature in 1.3. This will be a boolean option that defaults to true. We need to work out a clear option name for this since clickOverlayToClosePopup is a wee bit long.

clickOutToClose, ordinaryClose, standardClose... (1st ideas...)

may data-modal, but this has to be false by default

@agcolom - we need to update the API docs with this change.
