How to make a pop-up like Digg's

    I want to make a pop-up confirmation that way digg's pop-ups work. I you are unfamiliar, they grey the whole background and make a nice looking pop-up that is not just a new window.

    I assume JavaScript is the main language to make something like this. I am not asking someone to post code to make this happen, but I was hoping someone knew of a good tutorial that they could point me to.

    I have a pretty good understanding of JavaScript, but if it uses Flash I may be in trouble, lol.

    Any help would be appreciated guys. Thanks.
