Jason, I do a similar thing for one of my applications. I have a table and when the user hovers the mouse over some button on each row then I show a "dialog" with more details about the row. What I do is having a hidden div next to the table and make it appear, its contents updated via AJAX, with the help of a jquery plugin: I use plugin shown in [1] in combination with grid shown at [2]. For other use cases, when dialog contents are very heavy I use a ModalWindow triggered by an "onclick".
Maybe I could strip my code of "the business logic" and post it somewhere so that you could use or adapt it.
