Drupal has perfect status/error message collect process, but only have a basic UI. This tiny module will improve user experience when they try to using drupal.

The default drupal messages display on the top of content, many user will ignore them when they don't want to wait page loading and scroll down to see what's new of site. So this module provide a popup box to tell user "the status/error message is here!", lock the scroll of window before they close the box. Box will auto close in seconds. And user can see messages any time they click bottom sticky notice bar.

Features summary:

Popup box to attract user's eye.
Transparent background.
Auto close in customizable seconds.
Notice bar will fixed position in the bottom of page when ever user scroll.
Graceful degrade if JS not enabled
Cross browser - Tested in ie6+, ff3.0+, google chrome, safari 3.1+
This module is written in jquery based to keep it tiny and useful, and stable for common drupal usage. Also welcome for any useful feature suggestion.

I am also looking for something similar

Hi,

I want to have a pop-up in the same window, and this to display the answer of a quiz-question. I reviewed the Quiz module, but this module looks to be oriented to send in answers and have them scored. I am rather looking for a way to display the question, let the user think about it, and click the answer when he or she is ready.

On emusic.com the "We Say" feature is exactly what I want (example link: http://www.emusic.com/album/My-Morning-Jacket-Z-MP3-Download/11203185.html) When you click on 'more', the part of the page which was invisible in the browser up to then, becomes visible in a layer over the rest of the page. I see that this is done using a java class, but I have to admit that I'm a Java ignoramus.

BTW, I'm working in version 6.13, so the earlier proposed module for version 5.x will not work.

The advantage of having this in the same page is that it enables the possibility to browse more easily.

Thanks,
Peter

I'm already a little bit further

...This functionality exists for pictures and is known as 'Lightbox'. I'm going to play with the Lightbox2 module.

This might also be a start, but I need to look further into it: http://www.webdev-tutorials.com/?p=59/

I also saw the Popup API module. This works fine, however at my site only with the admin pages. When doing so, it doesn't use the FCKEditor... no good for a newbie like me

Update

The Lightbox2 module indeed does what I want it to do. I still have some issues with the background etc, but I'm sure I will work that out once I know a little more about theming.
Anyway: if you still think another module is better, please feel free to suggest so.
