Weird but simple idea. Hide page-show table

@LocalHeroJun 19.2008

I know this is wierd and it would take a lot of explaining as to why.
I have a normal page. It needs to stay the way it is. But I need to hide everything but the table in the middle. Is there a way that I can make a white layer in CSS that covers the whole page? Then, can I set my table on top of that layer?

Sorry for being weird? I think z layers could work but I don’t know if I can make a total white layer blanket to cover the page.
Thanks for any help on this idea.

table {visibility:visible}

@WebJoelJun 19.2008 — #Also, you described something called "lightbox" pretty well. Google "lightbox" and view some kewl examples of how~to, etc. :p

The 'total white layer' would be the 'overlayOpacity' image (not important to understand what this is other than any pre-canned "lightbox" script would have it included, and you can 'tweak it' for varying levels of 'opacity' (or color of you opted to use a different image) to 'blank-out' the background-part of the page to focus upon the 'open-up' image or table)

@LocalHeroauthorJun 19.2008 — #Hmm, that's not quite what I ws looking for (thatnks though!)

The "hide some show others" worked mostly.

Here is more detal of the problem.

I have a complicated site with global referances and included files. Then I have 1 page where I need to modify everything quickly so I just see the table in the middle. Hiding the body worked very well!!! But I still have the background image and I wanted just "white". I tried:

[CODE]body {
 visibility:hidden;
 background-color: #FFFFFF;
 }
 .showme {visibility:visible}[/CODE]

But even that doesn't make sense to me as I'm hiding the white I wanted. So is there a quick way to change the BG color once a page already loads it? Or is there a "white layer" option idea that could work?
