Klaus: Thanks. Excellent information, I went ahead and used your feedack.

I did like the html overflow hidden idea, but I found a slight
usability issue with it. When a greybox link exists down a long page
(scroll down), the "focus" jumped to the top of the page losing the
place where the user was before.

Ah, ok. I understand what you meant. Between those two previous
updates, I set the margins and paddings to 0 for the html and body
elements, with the width of 100%. This, from my thinking, is what
solved the problem you were seeing.

Ok. Let's see if we got rid of all the positioning problems by using
the CSS fixed positioning style.

Interesting idea, I'll have to think more about how to do that. But I
can't guarantee that I'll be able to get to it soon because it's a
feature that's out-of-scope of what my current project needs.

Notes about this third release. :)

1. Firefox only: the greybox's iframe overflow is set to 'auto' by
default, but can be changed through the options passed to GB_show. It
doesn't seem to work in IE or Safari.
2. The greybox animation in IE (side effect of the changed CSS greybox
positioning) starts from the middle, expanding symetrically upwards
and dowards; it previously went top down in IE. It still goes top down
in firefox.
3. Fixed positioning emulation as Klaus suggested. Added to a second
'ie-hacks.css' stylesheet for IE; a CSS conditional was added to
test.html so IE would include it while everything else ignored it.

Cheers,
Ben
