AjaxControlToolkit PopupExtender in JQuery

Question

Hi,

We are in the process of migrating our ASP.NET application to use Jquery instead of AjaxControlToolkit. We use the popup extender quite extensively in our application. I was wondering if there exists a plugin in Jquery that does what the AjaxControlToolKits's PopupControl does. (It opens a popup window to the Center, Left, Right, Top, or Bottom of the control that is specified). More information on PopupControl is available at http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/PopupControl/PopupControl.aspx .

Any help in directing me to find the right plugin will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Ajay

jqModal is a plugin for jQuery to help you display notices, dialogs, and modal windows in a web browser. It is flexible and tiny, akin to a "Swiss Army Knife", and makes a great base as a general purpose windowing framework.

A placeholder can be added to your page to tell the modal dialog the precise location in which to open (i.e. under or around an existing control).
