What is the best ajax control to display floating windows?

Question

Aloha,

I'm looking for a floating div type of control, to display another (user)control over an aspx page, using ASP.NET and Ajax. As far as I can see the Ajax Control Toolkit doesn't have a nice overlay control. Can anyone point me at a solution?

Answer 1

If you are looking for a modal dialogue, then

In the AJAX toolkit, there is the ModalPopup

Thickbox is a JQuery modal.

Answer 2

you can use the BlockUI using jQuery:

It is an element that's "floating" ontop of an aspx page, it thats what your looking for?
