Does anyone know if it's feasible to have GreyBox render a DIV tag
instead of an iFrame? I know it's not possible to load a remote URL
into a DIV (duh), so I obviously couldn't use this to, say, load
Google, but has anyone attempted to "gb_page_center" a div tag
containing AJAX-driven or even static content?

Example/Explanation:

I have an intranet site I'm working on here that allows our employees
to purchase products from the company. For the sake of argument, let's
say it's DVD's. I search on "Harry Potter," and display the results in
a GreyBox. The problem i have with this approach is that other pieces
of functionality (a mouse-over tooltip div, for example) obviously
can't straddle the frame demarcation.

Now, I know I can load my search_results.jsp in the GreyBox, pass the
query via the QueryString, and display the results thusly. However,
hovering over the DVD's cover should give you additional information
in a tooltip div (charities the sale benefits, number in stock, etc.).
If I embed the hover code within the GreyBox, the tooltip is confined
within it (the GB). If I instead embed the hover code in the parent
and trigger it from within the GB, the iFrame (which seems to have an
infinite z-index) sits on top of the tooltip.

What I'd Like to Do:

Ideally, I'd like the same effect to take place: overlay becomes
visible, parent darkens to 50% opacity, etc. Then, instead of loading
an iFrame in the center, I load a DIV tag and use AJAX to set its
contents (a la ExtJS or Scriptalicious).

Any ideas?
