Not sure if this is in the right section but was wondering if anyone can help me

 

I have the following code that is for my tumblr site 

tattoofreak87.tumblr.com

 

what i am aiming for is that when you click on the "ask me anything" link it will pop up the "ask me anything" box in the top center of the screen however not sure what i am doing wrong. as it stands right now the box is always there i there in the center and i would like it not to be. 

 

any help will be greatly appreciated

Sorry for the confusion,probably I misunderstood.

Put the CSS code between <style></style> tags and make sure they're between the head tags and aren't in <script> tags.

Also,you put the end of the body too early,put it before </html> so the "popup_block" will apear when you click.

Okay Played around with it again, and now the ask box is gone and no longer in the center of the screen, however now when I click on "Ask Me Anything" nothing is popping up.

Okay I got everything working I believe, now when you click on ask me anything it opens in same tab but it brings up the area to ask, however i want it to be a small pop up window that opens in the same page in the center of the screen or top center

You're redirecting to that page from here.

Change between the quoatation marks to #?w=400

as your jQuery is resizing the window by the width/number you write in the address bar after the #?w=

When I change the href link to anything other then what is there right now the link won't work ? i updated it on my end however

Probably because you're redirecting it to the same page,where it gets the width size of the page and gives the poplight it's side,but it's just a guess.

Did you try what I said before ? (replacing it with ' #?w=400 ')

Yes I have the only thing it will do is change the url to this "http://tattoofreak87.tumblr.com/#?w=400"

$('#' + popID).fadeIn().css({ 'width': Number( popWidth ) }).prepend('<a href="#" class="close"><img src="http://png.findicons.com/files/icons/1714/dropline_neu/24/dialog_close.png" class="btn_close" title="Close" alt="Close" />
You forgot to close it

$('body').append('<div id="fade">
and this as well.

Also,you didn't close the .ready() event. ( }); at the end)

$('body').append('<div id="fade"> ');

Are these ^ now closed properly?

In some case's HTML closes the tag by himself(As far as I know,but not sure if always or in which cases or even how),but just to make sure -

$('#' + popID).fadeIn().css({ 'width': Number( popWidth ) }).prepend('<a href="#" class="close"><img src="http://png.findicons.com/files/icons/1714/dropline_neu/24/dialog_close.png" class="btn_close" title="Close" alt="Close" /></a>');
$('body').append('<div id="fade"></div>');

Now only left is to close the .ready event.

Just add a }); at the end of the jQuery code(before </script>)

Well,as you decide.

Anyhow,the last two steps are to close the first <script> tag & open it (because it should be seperated) and change the 'display' in CSS from "hide" to "block" when the user clicks.

I didn't hurry,because I thought I would confuse you and so you'll understand what you're doing and not just simply give you the working code,because there is no point in it.

So,the code should look like this :

<html>
    <head>
    <title>Vince's Tumblr</title>
    <style type="text/css">   
    .popup_block {
		width:400px;

		display: none;
		background: #D3D3D3;
		background-image: url();
		padding: 10px;
		font-family: Garamond;
		float: left;
		font-size: 10px;
		position: fixed;
		top: 50%; left: 50%;
		z-index: 2;
		border: 2px solid #363636;
		-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #CFCFCF;
		-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px #CFCFCF;
		-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
		-moz-border-radius: 10px;
		border-radius: 10px;
	}
	.btn_close {
