>This is in regards to everything that appears on top of the main container. This is like a pick list, a calendar selection, a view of a report, a color selection and such. This is also widely used on Facebook. This is all done with DIV now. So, the main container is responsible for creating a DIV and simulating a "new window" type while in fact it is not. So, it appears immediately as there is no new window involved, and closes extremely fast. However, to fill it in, another process has to do the job. Once the data received, the content is transferred into a newly created DIV, usually appearing centered or next to a specific object.

Thx for the update on current best practice in smoke and mirror ;-). Appreciate the look at your side of things.
