jqModal

jqModal is a plugin for jQuery to help you display modals, popups, and notices. It is flexible and tiny, akin to a "Swiss Army Knife", and provides a great base for your windowing needs.

Features

• Designer Frieldly - Use your HTML+CSS for Layout and Styling
• Translator/i18n friendly - No hardcoded English strings
• Developer friendly - Extensible through callbacks to make anything possible (gallery slideshows, video-conferencing, &c)
• Simple support for remotely loaded content (aka "ajax")
• Multiple Modals per page (including nested Modal-in-Modal)
• Supported by all browsers capable of running jQuery 1.2.3+
