overlay instead of leave homepage

hello everyone,

been trying to figure this one out to no avail.

i’m creating a portfolio website where the homepage contains images as links.

when the user clicks on the links, instead of load to a new page,
i would simply like a transparent overlay to occur, so that you can still see the content of the new page laid over the homepage. the user can get back to the homepage if they click on any area that isn’t content from that page (over the homepage areas).

the image links on the homepage should also have hover states, which i know can be done using jquery fade in/out.

i’m relatively new to js but i just no idea where exactly to start. i’m not sure if the overlay is done in jquery or straight js.

a similar effect can be found here at this site

any ideas on just where to start would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

@dzcubeauthorJul 06.2010 — nice one.

the only similar part is the overlaying action as i don't want the slideshow. i think im just going to have to try and figure out that plugin and take the parts that i need.

i also, found the right terminology to what i'm trying to do, "modal windows" which jquery is capable of.

thanks!
