A modal window is an element that sits on top of an application’s main window. It creates a mode that disables the main window but keeps it visible with the modal window as a child window in front of it. Users must interact with the modal window before they can return to the parent application. So here are jQuery plugins that are great to present pop-up window to users that requires their interaction. These are often best used when the user has an action to perform e.g. confirming an action before moving forward.

jQuery Modal
Most plugins I’ve found try to do too much, and have specialized ways of handling photo galleries, iframes and video. The resulting HTML & CSS is often bloated and difficult to customize.
