jQuery button container widget

Question

The widget shall behave in the following way: As I press on a button, it would appear a "container" which can contain multiple icon-buttons. What is the appropriate container?

I have tried to use jQuery dialog but it seems that it's difficult to use. Do I have another choice? Or is it just that I don't know how to use the jQuery dialog?

Please give me some guidance, thanks!

Answer 1

Try jquery overlay

Answer 2

Hmm seems jQuery UI Dialog and Buttons should do the trick.

See: http://jsfiddle.net/vQuGU/

Or do you want something different?
