Explanation of JavaScript Code:

Modal Data: We create an array of objects, where each object represents a modal's content.

Event Listeners: For each button, we assign a click event that opens the modal and populates it with the corresponding data from the modalData array.

Closing the Modal: We add functionality to close the modal when the close button or outside the modal area is clicked.

Conclusion

That's it! You now have a functional modal window that opens when you click on a card. With just a few lines of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you can enhance user interaction on your website significantly.

Feel free to experiment with the modal styles and content to match your website’s aesthetics. Happy coding!
