Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Traction External Links Speed Bump

Here is the basic markup for how the speed bump is displayed. <pre> <div id="trelsb-external-link-modal" class="modal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="trelsb-external-link-modal-message"> <p id="trelsb-external-link-modal-message"> You are about to leave the current site. </p> <a class="button trelsb-external-link-modal-continue" tabindex="1" href="https://clickedlinkurl.com" aria-label="Continue"> Continue </a> <span class="button trelsb-external-link-modal-close" tabindex="2" aria-label="Close">
</span> </div> </pre> You can style the speed bump just like you would any other HTML elements.
In the off chance that you have a link not working with this plugin like you expect it to you can use the trelsb_handle_links function in your own JavaScript file to make the speed bump activate when the link is clicked. Just add a class name to the link and then use the code below. <pre> jQuery(".link_class_name").click(function(event) { trelsb_handle_links(event, this) }); </pre>
