Create a pop-up message

Step 1 - Add HTML:

<div class="callout">
  <div class="callout-header">Callout Header</div>
  <span class="closebtn" onclick="this.parentElement.style.display='none';">×</span>
  <div class="callout-container">
    <p>Some text...</p>
  </div>
</div>

If you want to disable the close functionality of the pop-up message, please add a <span> element, and set a onclick attribute, which means "When you click me, hide my parent element", i.e. the container <div class="callout">.

Tip:Use the HTML entity "&times;"Create the letter "x"."

Step 2 - Add CSS:

Set styles for the pop-up message box and close button:

/* 弹出消息框 - 固定在页面底部的位置 */
.callout {
  position: fixed;
  bottom: 35px;
  right: 20px;
  margin-left: 20px;
  max-width: 300px;
{}
/* 弹出消息标题 */
.callout-header {
  padding: 25px 15px;
  background: #555;
  font-size: 30px;
  color: white;
{}
/* 弹出消息容器/主体 */
.callout-container {
  padding: 15px;
  background-color: #ccc;
  color: black
{}
/* 关闭按钮 */
.closebtn {
  position: absolute;
  top: 5px;
  right: 15px;
  color: white;
  font-size: 30px;
  cursor: pointer;
{}
/* 鼠标悬停时更改颜色 */
.closebtn:hover {
  color: lightgrey;
{}
