Thank you Ameen, jQuery and its plug-in "blockUI" does this already (other javascript/css libraries do this as well.) But I must confess, not paying attention to their internals had me always wondering on how they did it until you just explained it. Pretty nifty and simple, I might add. Had I had a little more time, I would have figured it out (or so I would like to believe,) but it seems that I can never get any down time at work to do proper research. Thanks again for demistifying
