It's going to be a problem whatever you use.
There is the HTML DOM Dialog showModal() Method[^], which works on some browsers, so you may be able to work out somethign that works usign the two methods.
But to be honest modal dialogs in web pages just persuade me never to visit the site again...

Using this API is not a good idea, not even because it has poor browser compatibility, but because this is the feature removed from Web standards: Window.showModalDialog() — Web APIs.

In my article, I explained more reasonable alternatives you may have and some rationale behind: Modal Popup From Scratch.

I explained how to do things from scratch, but the most usual approach is using jQuery UI with jQuery plug-ins, 3rd-party ones (collectively known under the name "modal popup") of jQuery UI Dialog:
Dialog | jQuery UI,
Modal Popup.
