    Hey,

    This is my site in its current state, not much to look at, but I want this pop up working. The popup opens when the site has been viewed after 5 seconds or so.

    http://nodnil.freehostia.com/SampleCode/Test.html
    Code (markup):
    What I would really like is a lightbox (I think that is what it is called). It is where when the pop up loads, the whole website dims and becomes unusable apart from the pop up.

    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to achieve this?

    Thanks, nodnil.

    There are a couple of js libraries for achieving this effect. Maybe ThickBox or SimpleModal can work for you? Anyway, on the net there are plenty of these libraries... try to Google "javascript modal dialog" or "lightbox alternative" or like. You'll find lots of this stuff.
