jQuery $.modal content, via php

[The Letter E]

Hey freaks,

 

I'm trying something that when I started seemed should have been a simple task, but alas it is not working. :/

 

Here we go:

 

I'm trying to create a jQuery modal popup who's content is generated in the js via php.

 

Example:

<?php
$myVar = 'some text and stuff here...<br>whatever...';
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
	function openModal()
	{
		$.modal({
			content: '<?php echo $myVar; ?>',
			title: 'Income View',
			maxWidth: 500,
			buttons: {
				'Close': function(win) { win.closeModal(); }
			}
		});
	}
</script>

 

so when I try to execute that function it does not work....no modal opens, at all! However if I execute the same function with plain text in the content: area, it works fine. There has to be a simple solution to this!

 

Thanks in advance!!
