"Greybox Redux" (http://jquery.com/blog/2006/02/10/greybox-redux/)
Pros: - Written by the man himself - Handles static content as well as external links (via iframe) - Code isn't very long and is easy to modify (for instance, i didn't like the "click outside the modal to close it", so i coded an option to turn it off, this was 2 lines to do so) - Doesn't require any other plugins (for instance, some others need "bigiframe" or dimensions) Cons: - Haven't run into anything yet
