New popup screens?

This is a stupid question, but I've been out of the country for almost a year and I see this new thing to simulate pop-ups. The normal page shades dark and in the middle some frame opens up that asks you if you want to take a survey or something. In my brief searching I can't find what this technique is called or how it is done. Can someone point me in the right direction?

It seems like maybe a jquery+css thing, but I haven't the time to firebug it and back track. Thanks in advance.

Generally called "lightboxing". It's a javascript and CSS thing.
