## How to Create Popups
Popup is a window that pops up (appears) when you select an option with a mouse or press a special function key.
In this example , the popup will appear when you click on a button and will stay on the screen until you press X option.
We will construct the popup using ```HTML``` , ```CSS``` and ```JavaScript```
### Step 1 HTML
The HTML provides the structure for the popup
```html
<!-- div class="container" will contain the button that will open the popup when I click on it, and the popup window that will appear -->
<div class="container">
<button id="Btn">Open The PopUp</button>
<div class="popup_main_div">
<p class="text">Popup with JavaScript</p>
<div class="close_popup"><p>X</p></div>
</div>
</div>
```
### Step 2 CSS
We will choose our own style for the popup window. Notice: the popup div should be hidden at first, so in the style I will select display: none;
```css
.popup_main_div{
position: fixed;
width: 800px;
height: 400px;
border: 2px solid black;
border-radius: 5px;
background-color: #fff;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -400px;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -250px;
display: none;
}
.close_popup{
position: absolute;
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
border-radius: 25px;
border: 2px solid black;
text-align: center;
right: 5px;
top: 5px;
cursor: pointer;
}
.close_popup p{
margin-top: 5px;
font-weight: 400;
}
.text{
text-align: center;
font-size: 30px;
font-weight: 400;
margin-top: 22%;
}
#Btn{
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
top:20%;
}
```
### Step 3 JavaScript
```js
// First of all I will initialize my variables
// Select the elements that we will use from the DOM
// I wiil add en event in the button which will trigger a function that will change the popup's display style from none to block
const Btn=document.getElementById("Btn")
const PopupDiv = document.querySelector(".popup_main_div")
const ClosePopup = document.querySelector(".close_popup")
Btn.addEventListener('click',function(){
PopupDiv.style.display="block"
})
ClosePopup.addEventListener('click',function(){
PopupDiv.style.display="none"
})
```
