Creating a pop up window from a link

I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm building a new website and awhile ago I saw a cool effect which someone did on their site. Basically what I would like to do is when I click on a link in my page a pop up or a window opens, NOT A BROWSER, a stand alone window appears on top of the page where the link was clicked. When this window opens the page behinds dims to highlight this window. Then inside this window images or video could be placed. Apple also has this on their site where when you click on an image of one of their computers a window opens to reveal a bigger image. Their window also gives off a drop shadow on the page behind which is nice. I am not much of a coder so any help would be much appreciated. Another thing, would it be possible in this pop up window to say if you wanted to view images that at the bottom of this window was a slider with images and the main image above this and as you click on the images in the slider they fade in above but full size?

Would this be the same as an iframe?

Investigate the Open Browser Window behaviour in DW.

Turn off the window attributes you don't want.

Create drop shadows etc in your graphics program and either include them in your pop-up images, or add a sized background image to your pop-up page.

And I can recommend the free iespell for challenged typists using IE. Look using Google.
