a box "pop-up" with fading background effect

[Pesho318i]

Hello,

I would like to implemet a pop-up box. However, my idea is to have the background fade, e.g. everything behind the box becomes a little darker.

I am wondering what is the best way to do it - do I have to create an invisible element which at the correct moment becomes visible.

Moreover I have no clue how I should implement the fading background.


I'll be happy if you could offer any suggestions, code snippets or external links that can help me.

Thank you!

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

thanks I think I'm going to use the lightbox js library. It seems very good for my needs.
