i did this. my approach was to have two divs:

1) the background mask, height & width set to 10)%. background-color of
black and using an IE filter to reduce its opacity to 15% (my app is
IE-only intranet)

2) the popup/dialog window, centered, which looks like a post-it note
w/ a slight fuzzy dropshadow. it has a higher z-index than the mask
div, so it is 100% opacity, which makes it the central focal point.

the dialog div also has an "X" in its top-right corner, for closing the
dialog and canceling the mask layer.

presto.
