Problems with the open modal

I made a open modal box and it works apart from a second red button to the right outside the main box. There should only be one red button in the large box. What have I done wrong for there to be a second button to the right and how can I remove it? I have attached my code below. Thanks in advance http://codepen.io/Johned22/pen/RoZeEj

Hi John,

You've closed your #select anchor tag with </div> instead of </a>. Also, you haven't closed your #openModal div either. I think that's why your button is repeating all over the shop. Try this markup:

<div id="one">

<div id="circle"></div>

<a href="#openModal" id="select">CHOOSE OPTIONS</a> <div id="openModal" class="modalDialog"> <a href="#close" title="Close" class="close">X</a> </div>

</div>

Thanks for your response. Following what you said it has got rid of the second select button so thanks for that. The problem is I want to line several of these boxes side by side and now I made the changes it causes the contents to be shown even when the open modal box is closed. How can I make this info only be shown when I click on the open modal box? I have attahced my code below. http://codepen.io/Johned22/pen/bBYPdv Thanks
