Similar to lightbox, but with html?

[jlknauff]

I want a CSS/Java Script way to display a sort of pop up page that acts the same as lightbox, but I need to be able to include HTML so that we can include a link to client's web sites rather than just a picture.

I'm pretty sure I've seen something similar. Does anyone know how?

Well, I just wrote something that did that recently for work. It's pretty simple to do using scriptaculous and prototype (http://script.aculo.us/).

You just need to create a translucent div covering the existing page content to make it look faded, and then create a new div on top of that, centered in the viewport. Then, you load your content into the new div. A few fade in/out effects for sciptaculous and you're done.

Do you have a link to your example?

Nope, sorry. The part of the website that uses it is not accessible to the general public.
