I'm typically a server-side programmer, but I've been asked to figure out how to replicate a javascript/dhtml feature. I think my biggest problem is I don't know what this is called, so I can't Google it! :)

Anyways, I am trying to replicate http://amfam.com/ when you click on "Life & Annuities". I'm assuming when the user clicks the button a div is placed over the entire page with a lower z-index but I'm not sure on that and I have no idea on the syntax. Any help would be awesome! Even if it is just telling me what to Google so I can find a tutorial. :)

Thanks!
Jake

Exellent, thanks. Looks like the terms I was looking for were either thickbox or lightbox. Thanks again!
