We've tried this and it works.. Two issues we ran into though: 1. make it close itself after max 2sec. Don't make the user have to klick to close it. It should even close on ESC and on a click anywhere outside the div. 2. like you mention: the div must be positioned relative to the middle of the screen, regardless of the amount of items/lenght of the page. This is doable but it does'nt work the same way in all relevant browsers. You have to code it differently i firefox and ie.
