    How it works

    In above example 4 things are main let’s discuss them in details and its working.

    • modalwrap:- modalwrap class creates the black background block which block the screen and “modalwrap-content” provides the area where popup content will come.
    • Hidden Input: checkbox Input give us the trigger and status when we popup will show and hide. We can target the checked status of radio and input type using CSS, therefore if checkbox is checked we enabled the popup check line no-7.
    • Label attribute: We all know the for attribute and its behavior in label tag. It triggered the click event of input which id is mentioned in its for attribute.it help us to checked and unchecked the checkbox input.
    • Tag Sequence: Main role in popup functionality is the sequence of tag and classes. Here we  have use sibling CSS selector to enable hide & show. If the sequence of classes got changed your popup will not work any more.
