There's a DHTML technique that is becoming more common place, that I would like to use, but have no idea what it's called or the way to execute it. I'll try to describe it, and send example links.

Let's say you are on a persons photo gallery site. They have a thumbnail. You click on the thumbnail and a 50% opaque layer comes out from now where and covers your entire page in a gray myst. Then in that div that contains the larger screen resolution image and a button to disable this newly created layer.

Do you know what I am talking about? What is this technique called? Tutorials on how to do it?
