How to create a Closing Popup using jQuery Mobile ?

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

jQuery Mobile is a web based technology used to make responsive content that can be accessed on all smartphones, tablets, and desktops. In this article, we will be creating a closing popup using jQuery Mobile.

Approach: Add jQuery Mobile scripts needed for your project.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.css%E2%80%9D /> <script src=”http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js%E2%80%9D></script> <script src=”http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js%E2%80%9D></script>

We will create a popup containing a closing button. The closing button can be placed either left-top or right-top or other places based on classes. The popup can be closed by clicking outside of the popup widget or pressing Esc key. The data-dismissible="false" attribute is used to prevent the closing popup when user click outside the popup box.

Example 1: We will create a popup containing a close button at top-right corner.
