Admin modal functionality

Gumster

How would I trigger a modal window (with custom content) using the admin js?

When I submit an admin form, I just want a loader gif to show something is happening, with some text.

I am using jquery to show / hide the loader at the moment, but a modal would look nicer.

You would most likely need to create your own javascript to trigger a modal. FUEL uses the jqModal jquery plugin to do it's modal windows. That means you have access to use it in your custom javascript code though:
