I need a modal popup window. I'm thinking of using jQuery. Can anyone give me couple of good examples that implement modal windows. Something solid, well documented?

A: 

The modal popup in the Microsoft ajax control toolkit is easy to use:

Have you looked at the jQuery UI dialog demos? There are also demos in the full API documentation available at http://docs.jquery.com/UI/API/1.7/Dialog.

Have a look at jQuery Alerts plugin http://abeautifulsite.net/notebook/87

I use it and it is beautiful, configurable, and easy to integrate. It also has modal dialogs. It is free as well.

I highly recommend jqModal, I've been using it for a while, it's very simple to use and it works great

Depends on what you are doing with the modal...

But, thickbox is highly configurable and can basically display anything you want in it. It has been around for literally at least 3 years... tried and true.

According to the Thickbox webpage, it is no longer being maintained (not to say this should detract from its usage). The authors do give alternatives

If you just want to use forms or prompts and confirms - take a look at MicroModal. It's small and doesn't make use of fancy images or css hacks. It's about 1500 bytes compressed.
