You might want to give jqModal a shot. BlockUI is better for blocking
specific parts of a document, during an ajax call or the like. jqModal is
more of a modal window solution that might be better suited to what you're
trying to do. There's also SimpleModal which I personally haven't used.

Thanks for the reply, Josh... but that isn't the problem. To
demonstrate, I updated my demo according to your suggestion:
http://74.205.76.81/blockuitest/
Even if that WAS the solution, it would force people to zero out their
body padding and margins. Not a problem for most, but inconvenient for
many. If you consider IE important, it's a blockUI bug.
Any other takers? Here's how Boxy's author fixed it (in his own
words):
"I've added a separate sizing method specifically for IE6 which uses
the viewport dimensions instead of the document, and repositions on
scroll as well as on resize. I tried using this approach for all
browsers but Firefox was having none of it."
