I agree with both previous answers. Basically, you want to use what is known as a "lightbox" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightbox_(JavaScript)

It is essentially a div than is created within the DOM of your current window/tab. In addition to the div that contains your dialog, a transparent overlay blocks the user from engaging all underlying elements. This can effectively create a modal dialog (i.e. user MUST make some kind of decision before moving on).
