Hi

What you describe is a modal window.

As far as I know, Explorer-only implementation exists, but no chance to work in other browsers. But modal windows are user unfriendly, so in newer Opera versions not even the [tt]alert()[/tt], [tt]confirm()[/tt] and [tt]prompt()[/tt] dialogs are modal windows anymore.

Better search for a lightbox implementation able to display external documents, for example GreyBox.

If you are using alerts or confirms or prompts etc.. you could manually add a div with a semi transparent background absolutely positioned over the entire website before calling the alert, and then removing it after.

document.getElementById('coverdiv').style.display='block';
alert(...);
document.getElementById('coverdiv').style.display='none';

If you are using something else only you know how you are calling your popup, and only you can implement it within your code.
