Don't know what you mean by design a gray box. Do you mean create a box for a web page that has a gray background or create one using Photoshop/Gimp? Need specifics.

Heya, bettor.

The easiest way to do it is to create a hidden div in your HTML and then set its display property:

<style type="text/css">
    #grayBox
    {
        background-color:   #999999;
        display:            none;
        height:             100px;
        width:              100px;
    }
</style>
 
<div id="grayBox">
</div>
 

And to show the box:

document.getElementById('grayBox').style.display='block';

Well all I can do to clarify myself is to give you an example:
http://orangoo.com/labs/greybox/normal_usage.html any of the links on this page contains a grey box which I am trying to make. any idea on how to proceed would be highly appreciated.
