Floating popup in Apex 4.0

Question

Hi,
Is there any way to create a floating pop up in Apex 4.0. For example when i click a button in a page a new page must be popped up, but the first page will be non editable but we can see it in background.When i click a button the popped up page it will be closed and we can edit the main page. Is there any way to achieve this.
Thanks,
Nav

Hi,
A lot depends on what you want to do in the popup. If its simple display some text, just like Item Help , you can use the below code snippet as a starting point.
<script type="text/javascript">
  function showDialog(parg,ptitle){
       //parg is the HTML content to display in the popup window ion quotes
      //ptitle is the tite of the popup window
            lDialog = apex.jQuery('<div id="my_popup">'+parg+'</div>');
            // open created div as a dialog
            lDialog
              .dialog({
                title: ptitle,
                bgiframe: true,
                width: 500,
                height: 350,
                show: 'drop',
                hide: 'drop' });
</script>PS: I have not tested the above code.
