What about a lightbox with enhanced jQuery features?

As a newcomer to jQuery, I've never experimented with lightboxes before. However, I was tasked with creating something fun for April Fools' Day at work. Naively, I accepted the challenge thinking it would be simple, but now I find myself struggling to execute the idea.

The concept involves:

1 - Clicking on the Homepage Banner
2 - A lightbox appearing with the message "Speak your search term"
3 - Pressing a button to speak, followed by a prompt saying "Sorry, we can't hear you, Shout" after 5 seconds
4 - Shouting into the microphone triggers a pop-up revealing an April Fools' promo code for 10% off (XXXXXX)

I have managed to implement the last three steps, which you can view here: http://jsfiddle.net/C8f3P/1/.

My main query is how to integrate all these actions into a lightbox after clicking on the banner. Do you think using a lightbox is the right approach for this project?

Please note: The JSFiddle demo is just a rough representation and won't look exactly like the final product :)

That's awesome!

We implemented a feature that allows users to search using voice input. Once the user stops speaking, the search is submitted.

However, please note that this solution currently only functions in Chrome...

<input type="search" name="q" value="" id="searchInputField" placeholder="WHAT CAN WE FIND FOR YOU?" x-webkit-speech="">

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#searchInputField').bind('webkitspeechchange',function() {
        $(this).parent('form').submit(function( event ) {
                  alert( "Make sure to speak clearly!" );
             event.preventDefault();
            });
    });
});
</script>

I made some adjustments to include your alert message. Hopefully, it improves the user experience.

If you're using Chrome, give it a try! Don't forget to record the initial response on your phone – it might turn out hilarious.

You could consider hiding the input field or styling it off-screen for a cleaner look. Just some suggestions.

This seems like a fun and mischievous idea. I might pull a prank with my team. Thanks for inspiring such creative development behavior :)

All the best!

Check out my revised version that may be of assistance to you. However, the question posed is quite unclear and I am not certain how to address it precisely. I hope this code snippet proves helpful.

JS Fiddle

$(document).ready(function() {
    var state = 0;
    var div = $('#fool');
    var content = $('#fool .content');
    var button = $('#fool .button');
    var waiting_html = $('#waiting-content').html();

    function nextStep() {
        var html;

        state++;

        html = $('#step' + state + '-content').html();
        content.html(html);

        div.removeClass('step1 step2 step3').addClass('step' + state);

        if (state >= 3) {
            button.off('click').hide();
        } else {
            button.show();
        }
    }

    $("#fool .button").on('click', function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        content.html(waiting_html);
        button.hide();
        setTimeout(nextStep, 5000); // Simulating a recording process.
        return false;
    });

    nextStep();
});

HTML

<div id="fool">
    <p class="content"></p>
    <a href="#" class="button"><strong>click</strong> to start recording</a>
</div>

<script id="waiting-content" type="text/html">Recording...</script>
<script id="step1-content" type="text/html">Speak your search term</script>
<script id="step2-content" type="text/html">Sorry, we can't hear you, Shout</script>
<script id="step3-content" type="text/html">April Fools - Here's a promo code for 10% off. XXXXXX</script>
