 * I’m working on Easy Modal trying to allow for unlimited modal windows to be created.
   For this to happen I need to be able to process each modals script separately
   with it’s chosen options.
 * My question would be should I use php dynamic scripting with a doctype of JavaScript
   or create the script with some loops(which I’m not sure how to go about.) that
   will do similar to foreach in php.

 * Another method that might work which I just thought of would be to add 2 classes
   to the link for each modal.
    1. General class – eModal 2. Modal specific – eModal-
   1 etc
 * When a user clicks on object with class 1 jQuery detects class 2.
 * I know I can then pass class 2 to my Ajax query but I’m at a loss to figure out
   how to pass other java specific settings like overlay colors. Callbacks etc back
   to the script after detection.
 * I’m leaning towards using php to dynamically create the scripts for all the modals
   detected but I can already see flaws with this method that I would need to address.
 * 1. If user created 100 modals then the script could get potentially large.
    2.
   Cacheing issues with a dynamic scripts.

 * Ok so after looking around the net for a few I’m wondering if this might work.
   
   On page load detect all modals and build a list.
 * Call jQuery $.getScript to load the dynamic script with settings for the list
   of detected modals.
 * Another option would be to create a single jQuery function with all option routes
   built in.
    Problem I’m trying to figure out there is how to get and pass the 
   options to the function as each modal link will need to activate different options
   based on it’s second eModal class
 * Maybe filter wp content and find all modal classes. Use this list to get each
   set of options and pass them via wp enqueue localized options?
