jQuery Expandable DIV Box

You know how you see those jQuery Expandable box things that expand to display a bigger image in the center of the screen when you click on a Thumbnail image?开发者_如何学Go

Well, how do I do pretty much the exact same thing, but instead of there just being an image inside, I need to fill that "box" with a div, and html content inside it. Like some pictures, with some text and hyperlinks?

I've looked everywhere I could think of, does this exist already? How would one go about doing something like this? Any help at all is appreciated.

Thank you!

you can do something like this with a dialog:

js:

$('.more').click(function(){
    var rel = $(this).attr('rel');
    var $rel = $('#'+rel);
    var div = $('<div>').append($rel);
    div.dialog({
        width: 500,
        position: 'center'
    });
    $rel.show();

})

html:

<div class='more' rel='the_more'>MORE</div>

<div id='the_more' class='hide'>

</div>

There's plenty of JQuery plugins such as http://static.railstips.org/orderedlist/demos/fancy-zoom-jquery/ allowing you to display any type of content.
