No need to reinvent the wheel, I'd use the BlockUI plugin in conjunction with whatever you're working on.

I am trying to get some code from other plugins but it is kind of a mess. Do anyone of you know how to fade out the background add an overlay with an opacity, to cover the entire page? Thanks, Ryan
