   Glen, This is where I wanted to take the plugin next. Well, not 
exactly modding the plugin into an obtrusive complexity -- but to 
provide demonstrations showing jqModal working in conjunction with 
resizable & draggables. As I prefer markup & styling to remain 
abstracted from the code, it is up to the user to come up with means for 
fancy effects, image galleries, etc. etc. through the use of JS 
callbacks and straight forward HTML + CSS.

As the plugin is unobtrusive; attaching draggable + resizable events to 
a window displayed with jqModal will work out-of-box -- I just need to 
pioneer some good looking demos to show how easily it can be done ;) 
Unfortunately I'm a terribly slow designer... but I do plan on porting 
all the uses I find for jqModal into an example on the plugin page.. so 
eventually it should grow into a resourceful repository of designs & 
effects.

This could be interesting.. right now the window is "popped" via 
show()/hide().. although a fadeTo(0.90) may be nice. Maybe I'll add 
another parameter to set window opacity... although this can be 
accomplished via the callback functions, e.g.

function fadeWindow(w,hash) { $(w).fadeTo(0.90); }
var t = ('a.trigger');
$('#jqmWindow').jqm({trigger: t},fadeWindow);  // sets up #jqmWindow to 
display when 'a.trigger' is clicked. fadeWindow will be executed on 
window display.

I still need to provide more examples & better documentation. If you 
have any suggestions or requests for things you'd like to see 
implemented, my ears are gladly open!
