In Internet use, a modal window is a window that overlays on top of the web age you are on, typically with a translucent background surrounding it that covers the rest of the web page.
This focuses the visitors attention on the window. The modal window can contain just about anything, from an html page, an image, just text. The possibilities are very broad.
You can make the user take an action before returning to the web site or just close the window using a number of methods. A close link, htting Esc, clicking outside the window, etc.
To see an example or two, go to the Store page on Beyond Fusion.

Click on the Web Modal Windows Builder icon. A modal window will open listing the features of the program.
There's a similar window for AllWebMenus when you click on that icon.
