jQuery UI Dialog - Basic modal

Adding the modal overlay screen makes the dialog look more prominent because it dims out the page content.

Sed vel diam id libero rutrum convallis. Donec aliquet leo vel magna. Phasellus rhoncus faucibus ante. Etiam bibendum, enim faucibus aliquet rhoncus, arcu felis ultricies neque, sit amet auctor elit eros a lectus.

A modal dialog prevents the user from interacting with the rest of the page until it is closed.
