Jquery multiple modals plugin

I'm using this simple jquery plugin for modal popups but it doesn't have a function for multiple popups so I'm trying to make my own.

First I added unique indexes to the buttons that open the modal and the modal divs. The HTML is created dynamically. 

<button class="my_modal_open" id="1">Open modal</button>
<div id="my_modal" class="1" style="display:none;margin:1em;">
    <a href="#" class="my_modal_close" style="float:right;padding:0 0.4em;">×</a>
    Modal Content
</div>

<button class="my_modal_open" id="2">Open modal</button>
<div id="my_modal" class="2" style="display:none;margin:1em;">
    <a href="#" class="my_modal_close" style="float:right;padding:0 0.4em;">×</a>
    Modal Content
</div>

<button class="my_modal_open" id="3">Open modal</button>
<div id="my_modal" class="3" style="display:none;margin:1em;">
    <a href="#" class="my_modal_close" style="float:right;padding:0 0.4em;">×</a>
    Modal Content
</div>

And then I modified the js to open modals by appropriate index. 

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('.my_modal_open').click( function() {
        $('#my_modal').css('display','none'); //added
        var open_id = $(this).attr('id'); //added
        $('#my_modal.' + open_id).popup(); //changed to get div id and class               
  });
});

This works but the modals open only once. As a fix I tried adding

$('#my_modal').css('display','block');

after the popup() function which works but the modal doesn't display in the right position, the second time.

Please share any suggestions. Hopefully someone used this plugin before.

You can use fadeIn() and fadeOut().

Example

Create something like

<div class="my_modal_background"></div>

where in css

.my_modal_background{ background:#000; position:fixed; width:100%; height:100%; z-indez:0 }

.my_modal_open div{ z-index:1; }

And your Jquery must be like this

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.my_modal_open').click(function () {
        $(this).children('div').fadeIn();
        $('.my_modal_background').fadeIn();
    });
});

You might want to look at other libraries like jQuery UI or Twitter Bootstrap, since they have already solved this problem. If you want to roll your own, I would change your approach slightly.

Add an attribute to the buttons which stores the ID of the modal dialog you want to show. In the example below I called it "data-modal-id". When you click the button, get the value of that attribute and look up the modal with that ID and show it:

HTML

<button class="my_modal_open" data-modal-id="1">Open modal</button>
<div id="1" style="display:none;margin:1em;">
    <a href="#" class="my_modal_close" style="float:right;padding:0 0.4em;">×</a>
    Modal Content
</div>

<button class="my_modal_open" data-modal-id="2">Open modal</button>
<div id="2"style="display:none;margin:1em;">
    <a href="#" class="my_modal_close" style="float:right;padding:0 0.4em;">×</a>
    Modal Content
</div>

<button class="my_modal_open" data-modal-id="3">Open modal</button>
<div id="3" style="display:none;margin:1em;">
    <a href="#" class="my_modal_close" style="float:right;padding:0 0.4em;">×</a>
    Modal Content
</div>

jQuery

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.my_modal_open').click(function () {
        $('#' + $(this).data("modal-id")).popup()
    });
});
