A modal pop up gate appears over the page as an overlay. It is triggered from a link on the page. To deploy a gate like this you simply use the embed code provided as the HREF of the link you want to use. The A tag used can be around a piece of text or an image.


Sometimes web developers will create their own modals and insert an embedded gate within it. However, this is not the correct way to embed a Gatedcontent.com gate becasue GatedContent.com assumes if you are using an inline gate it is always visible on page load.


This can cause several issues:

  • UX experience can be inhibited and forms may not submit properly
  • Tracking will be affected as the load event will be triggered even though the pop up has not opened 
  • Open gates will not behave as expected
  • It will disrupt the functionality of video gate types

If it is necessary to do custom styling we would recommend changing it in CSS through the Manage Styles area.
