Bererlyh.
Thank you so much for the leads. I've looked at them and others and finally found something that lets the page display the way I want it to.
I only have one problem left. When the modal window displays, the background page is not "washed out". I believe it has something to do with the opacity property, but I can't get it to work right. I can get the modal window to "wash out", but not the background page. Any thoughts on how to do that?
My code is below.
Thanks in advance.
