Modal Popups in ASP .NET

I recently saw an application which uses a frameless popup while
loading (i.e. a popup appears on top of the application, not inside the
browser window). How can such popup be displayed in the application
while its loading? Here is a screenshot:

It looks to me like it's inside the browser window. You could have a popup
above the browser using an ActiveX control, but you will really reduce your
user base. Actually, just using popup windows is going to drive away users.
Not to mention the problems when they get out of sync with your main page, a
browser blocks automatically closing the window, etc.

Just use a div element, with css for absolute positioning and z-ordering.
That would look exactly like the screen shot you linked to.

It's probably just a DIV tag that is positioned absolutely on the top
most z-index of the browser window using both CSS and Javascript. It's
hidden by default, and when needed positioned and shown using a
Javascript call.
