    $(this).overlay({
      color: 'red',
      closeOnClick: true,

        alert('Hello world!');

  $('#trigger').click(function() {
    $(this).overlay({
      onShow: function() {
        $('body').append(
          $('<div id="new-element">This is my new element!</div>');
        );
      });
    });
  });
