Image modals on multi-tab page

I want to create a multi-tabs page with an image modal on each tab.
I used code from w3school.com. The modal only shows on the first page but not in the others. No matter what image I click, the modal with that image will show only in the first page. I am new to web design, so I prefer to use CSS and simple JavaScript.
Can anybody help me figure out how to make the modal show on the correct page?
Edited on Oct 02, 2021, I revised my CSS and Javascript and fixed the issue using a loop. Just sharing for anyone might be interested in.
Revised JavaScript
///// Image display modals
// All page modals
var modals = document.querySelectorAll('.modal');
// Get the image and insert it inside the modal - use its "alt"
// text as a caption
var img = document.querySelectorAll("img.myImg")
var modalImg = document.querySelectorAll("img.modal-content")
var captionText = document.querySelectorAll(".modal-caption");
// Get the <span> element that closes the modal
var spans = document.getElementsByClassName("close");
// When the user clicks the image, open the modal
for (var i = 0; i < img.length; i++) {
img[i].onclick = function() {
for (var index in modals) {
modals[index].style.display = "block";
for (var index in modalImg) {
modalImg[index].src = this.src;};
for (var index in captionText) {
captionText[index].innerHTML = this.alt;}
}
}
}
// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal
for (var i = 0; i < spans.length; i++) {
spans[i].onclick = function() {
for (var index in modals) {
if (typeof modals[index].style !== 'undefined') modals[index].style.display = "none";
}
}
}
// When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (event.target.classList.contains('modal')) {
for (var index in modals) {
if (typeof modals[index].style !== 'undefined') modals[index].style.display = "none";
}
}
}

How to auto-click on button in the website that opened in new tab

Need your help below, all codes below are from "example.com" assuming:
Click Me
When I click on "Click Me", it will run the function "gp()" below
<script>
function gp(pul){
var qal = "vo";
var tul = document.querySelectorAll('[target="'+qal+pul+'"]');
[].slice.call(tul).forEach(
function(link){
setTimeout(function(){
if(pul == 1){
window.open("http://www.example.com",qal+pul);
}else
if(pul == 2){
window.open("http://www.example.com",qal+pul);
}
},1000);
}
);
}

The basic idea is, I am in the urlA, when I click on one link, it will load the same urlA in the new tab. In this new tab, when it load, I want it to auto-click on the button to trigger the pop out message.
Thanks in advance for your help.

What do you mean with auto click?
The new tab, does it open a site made by you?
You should use url params for that, I will make for you a very basic example, you have to improve this, if you want to have more functionality in it.
For html, you use:
<a target="_blank" href="http://example.com/index.html?clickButton=true">Link</a>
The parameter is added to the href link, clickbutton=true.
for the JS you simply write something like this:
function buttonClick() {
alert('pop up')
}
let url = window.location.href;
let params = url.split('?');
let myparam = params[1].split('=');
if (myparam[1] === 'true') buttonClick();
I just got the url string and used some split functions to get the result of the parameter.
There is for sure specific functions to do this in a better way, but I never used them, so I give you some basic JS code.

How do I iterate a button that will trigger a modal popup using PHP while statement

I have a system that gets user data from a mysql database using PHP. The "while" statement shows the results from the database table. I want to be able to add a skill for each user in the database. I have a button that when clicked, triggers a modal popup with the user name and id. I am failing to get iterated buttons to trigger a modal popup. Only the button from the first row works.(Please forgive my English). How do i get all buttons to trigger a modal popup form that will show the respective user name and id?
Html and PHP
<table id="proj" border="0" width = "85%">
<tr >
<td width = "30%" align = "center">User ID</td>
<td width = "30%" align = "center">Name</td>
<td align = "center">Actions</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!--rows containing stuff from database-->
<?php
include 'dbcon.php';
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users";
$result = $con->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
?>
<div class="prows">
<div class="prow" align = "center">
<div class="id1">
<?php echo $row["id"]; ?>
</div>
<div class="status1">
<?php echo $row["name"]; ?>
</div>
<div class="pm1">

I would like to get each button in each row to trigger a modal popup

As explained by ryantxr, you can't have multiple IDs with same name. Add a classname and loop through them instead. Something like this perhaps? Assuming you have added class="bnUpdate" to the necessary elements.
var elem = document.getElementsByClassName('bnUpdt');
for(var i=0; i<elem.length; i++) {
elem[i].addEventListener("click", function() {
// add skill code...
});
}
Hope it helps.

Modal close button not working

This is the code. If I open the modal, the close button will not work and will not close until the page is refreshed.
// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById('myModal');
// Get the button that opens the modal
var btn = document.getElementById("myBtn");
// Get the <span> element that closes the modal
var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];
// When the user clicks the button, open the modal
btn.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "block";
}
// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal
span.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "none";
}
// When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (event.target == modal) {
modal.style.display = "none";
}
}

<div id="myModal" class="modal">
<!-- Modal content -->
<div class="modal-content">
<span class="close">×</span>
<p>Some text in the Modal..</p>
</div>
</div>
All I want is for the modal to close when the button is clicked.

In your code there is no element with id myBtn
so remove the following code
// Get the button that opens the modal
var btn = document.getElementById("myBtn");
// When the user clicks the button, open the modal
btn.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "block";
}
and it will work fine

You didn't gave the button an ID. So the javascript was failing on that line where you were adding an event listener to the button. So the statement that follows were not executed.
<div class="columns">
<ul class="price">
<li class="header">Hard Drive Format</li>
<li class="grey">£10</li>
<li>Format Hard Drive</li>
<li>Removes ALL Files From Drive</li>
<li>Fresh Install Windows</li>
<li class="grey"><button id="myBtn">Sign Up</button></li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- The Modal -->
<div id="myModal" style="display:none;" class="modal">
<!-- Modal content -->
<div class="modal-content">
<span class="close">×</span>
<p>Some text in the Modal..</p>
</div>
</div>
// Get the modal
var modal = document.getElementById('myModal');
// Get the button that opens the modal
var btn = document.getElementById("myBtn");
// Get the <span> element that closes the modal
var span = document.getElementsByClassName("close")[0];
// When the user clicks the button, open the modal
btn.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "block";
}
// When the user clicks on <span> (x), close the modal
span.onclick = function() {
modal.style.display = "none";
}
// When the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, close it
window.onclick = function(event) {
if (event.target == modal) {
modal.style.display = "none";
}
}
Here is the solution : https://jsfiddle.net/xf7whk0o/

Use this in your closing button.
data-dismiss="modal"
Use it like:
<button type="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">CLOSE</button>

Convert Javascript value into a link?

How am I able to convert the user input into a clickable link within the modal? (user entries will be in a URL format e.g. www.bbc.co.uk). The code I have used is purely from w3c schools and am experimenting how modules could be optimized.
I have added the code below.
<br><b>URL</b> <input type="text" size="40" value="" name="url" id="url" class="form-control" title="Enter the URL of a web page" onchange="displayURL()">
<br><br><br><br><br>

display: none; /* Hidden by default */
position: fixed; /* Stay in place */
z-index: 1; /* Sit on top */
padding-top: 100px; /* Location of the box */
left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%; /* Full width */
height: 100%; /* Full height */
overflow: auto; /* Enable scroll if needed */
background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /* Fallback color */
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.4); /* Black w/ opacity */
font-family: foco;
}
/* Modal Content */
.modal-content {
position: relative;
background-color: white;
margin: auto;
font-size: 15px;
padding: 0;
border: 1px solid #888;
width: 40%;
box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2),0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.19);
-webkit-animation-name: animatetop;
-webkit-animation-duration: 0.3s;
animation-name: animatetop;
animation-duration: 0.3s
}
/* Add Animation */
#-webkit-keyframes animatetop {

Thanks

It is actually very simple, you have to put the data read from the input box into an anchor tag:
<br><b>URL</b> <input type="text" size="40" value="" name="url" id="url" class="form-control" title="Enter the URL of a web page" onchange="displayURL()">
<br><br><br><br><br>

left: 0;
top: 0;
width: 100%; /* Full width */

overflow: auto; /* Enable scroll if needed */

W3 Schools has a nice little demo for just this thing.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Click the button to display a string as a hyperlink.</p>
<button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
function myFunction() {
var str = "Free Web Building Tutorials!";
var result = str.link("https://www.w3schools.com");
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = result;
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_link.asp for reference will guide you further.
Hopefully you can figure out how to target your element to update with your user input from the example provided.

You have two elements with the id 'skkr'. That's wrong.
Remove the id 'skkr' from this line <p id="skkr"></p>
Next, update the function displayURL() like so:
var link = document.getElementById("skkr");
var url = document.getElementById("url").value;
link.setAttribute("href",url);
link.innerHTML = url;
