How to actually use modal boxes

I know how to create A modal box. Just one though. But how do we use multiple modal boxes? Should I go ahead and create the elements for every different info in the html and display on/off when event happens, or should I create the elements with js when the event happens. 1. already making the elements with html: html: <div class = "modal"> <h1> WOW BOX 1 </h1> <p> congrats you opened box one </p> </div> <div class = "modal"> <h1> OMG! how did you open box 2 </h1> <p> You are incredible. You clicked a button to open this </p> </div> <div class = "modal"> <h1> INSANE </h1> <p> How did you find the third box? huh, crazy right. </p> </div> Now if I want to display box "two": js: x.onclick = modal[1].style.display = "block"; // if i want to display box 3: y.onclick = modal[2].style.display = "block"; -------------- 2. create the elements with JS // this is the other method i'm thinking of: js: createElement("div").className = "modal"; modal.innerHTML = "<h1> Wow You clicked on button 1 </h1> <p> abcd </p>"; body.appendChild(modal); now I just created a modal. Using this method, I can just call a function that creates a modal box, and change up things, like modal.innerHTML = "<h2> HI </h2>" ----------- Or do you guys have a different idea?
