HTML example code:

<html>
<body>

	<script>

		var popUpObj;

		function showModalPopUp(){

			popUpObj=window.open("PopUp.htm","ModalPopUp","width=400," + "height=300");

			popUpObj.focus();

			LoadModalDiv();

		}

	</script>

More parameters can use in the window.open

You can freeze the parent window and when the popup is closed the parent window is changed back to normal.

window.open("PopUp.htm",
			"ModalPopUp",

			"toolbar=no," +

			"scrollbars=no," +

			"location=no," +

			"statusbar=no," +

			"menubar=no," +

			"resizable=0," +

			"width=400," +

			"height=300," +

			"left = 490," +

			"top=300"

);
