If you want the user to pick a language before using a site, and your current plan is to present them with a "modal" jquery dialog...then a more usable, user-friendly approach would be to create a language-selection landing page that users will be presented upon entering your site. A landing page like this, for all intents and purposes...is modal, but its much more accessible to your users. If any of them have javascript disabled for any reason, or are using a browser cough IE cough that doesn't render dhtml-based "modal" stuff very well, then at least your users arn't presented with anything quirky that may make it difficult or impossible for them to actually choose their language of choice.
Don't wrap your code in document ready, if your modal plugin requires a particular DIV to be in the document, put the div directly under the body tag and the javascript code directly under that.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
