jQuery: Simple, lightweight modal box

What is the simplest jquery plugin for modalboxes that do the following:

Ajax by href Inline content modal
Simple slide-down effect
Little supplied styling (I don't want it wrapped in 15 divs of junk)

Thanks!

I've tried jQuery UI's dialog, but it's becoming problematic.

ColorBox is a great plugin, and it seems to be the one recommended by the awesome crew (including a core jQuery member) over at yayQuery.

...although it doesn't look like it has the "slide-down" effect out of the box. I'd say it's still worth checking out though if you can compromise on the exact behavior of it.

I just moved away from colorbox. It's good, though.

@Kevin - what did you move to?

I tried jQuery UI dialog...but it's just causing problems. I'm trying to scale down my jquery plugins...Colorbox worked, but for my app, it'd be really nice if it were a slide-down dialog.

Simplest one I have found, while still having some nice functionality, is Simple Modal

It is pretty simple to use and still has some nice functionality. If you want crazy simple you could just style a div to float in the middle of the page and then unhide it via jquery.

Does this have good ajax functionality?

Well you can put links and buttons in the modal popup that then link to functions that perform ajax calls. JQuery already helps you out a lot with that. I don't think the plugin provides additional abstraction to help you with the ajax calls though.

Good, but it doesn't have ajax supported, does it?

I'm liking this...
