I have recently got the hang of creating modal windows (or pop-up windows) that have an "X" as the close button.
My question is, "Can I give the viewer the option to close out of the modal window by pressing the "Esc" key?
If anyone has a method to achieve this, I would love to know. Thank you in advance for sharing.
