Hey Brice -
I took a look at jqModal actually and I like it for modal windows - was
thinking of using it actually. One of my key requirements is that it had to
sometimes use an iframe, sometimes ajax, and sometimes DOM. I was already
using Thickbox here and there and decided it would be a good place to start.
So I sat down over the course of a couple of hours and changed it to work
the way I needed. I didn't like the query string method it had for settings
(plus it was unnecessarily IMO tied to a URL) so I molded it to work this
way.
As for dialog boxes, jqModal is really rather nice actually - I think you've
done a great job with it and I may use it for simple yes/no type things
where a small solution is required (normally I just hack together a div tag
and show() it but this is nice too (plus it can replace confirm, which is
very annoying because it says OK and Cancel (whoever thought of that?).
