ModalBox Plugin

Abstract

This plugin adds the ModalBox to your Grails applications.

ModalBox (http://code.google.com/p/modalbox/) is a JavaScript technique for creating modern (Web 2.0-style) modal dialogs or even wizards (sequences of dialogs) without using conventional popups and page reloads. It's inspired by Mac OS X modal dialogs. And yes, it may also be useful for showing larger versions of images.
