Specific Design Needed

[rjwebdesigns]

Hello people,

I'm after some sort of tutorial, code or someone to point me in the right direction.

I'm after a design like www.microsoft.com - If you click on the links on the right under "All Microsoft Sites" a pop up box appears and greys out the background "disables"

I've been scratching my head about this one for a while now. I program in PHP and not ASP. I just want to be able to click on a link, a box appears and greys out/disables the rest of the site until you close the box.

I've been playing with java to solve this as well but no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advanced.

i has nothing to do with the fact that the site is done in ASP.NET. such effects are accomplished using a combination of javascript and css.

sorry, don't know of any good tutorials for this off hand.

I suppose these are the scripts you are looking for. It's very easy to use.
Try either one of the two below.
1. Thickbox 3.1 - http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/
2. LightBox 2 - http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/

Cheers,
Rob
