What is the most stable modal dialog implementation across browsers to use from javascript for a web app?

I'm using a lot of JQuery in a web application that I am building for a client and I want to find an javascript implementation of a modal dialog that is reasonably stable across the following browser set.

IE 7+ FF 2+ Chrome and Safari

I've tried a couple of jQuery plugins but there always seems to be artifacts in one of these browsers.

--- Edit

jqModal seems to be more stable but I have an issue in IE7 where the dialog immediately disappears after popping up. I suspect a js event isn't being canceled or something. I'll have a bit more of a play.

We currently use BlockUI. It's awesome, in word. Can be styled via css (of course), blocks any element and seems stable, certainly in block IE and Firefox....

If you need a hand with it, post and I'll lend a hand...

I went through a similar exercise, tried most of the plugins I could find. I used YUI for quite a while with good results; the only issue I ran into was resizing centered modals, which is quite an obscure use case.

I ended up with http://dev.iceburg.net/jquery/jqModal/ , I'm pretty happy with it.

Have you tried YUI? I'm not sure what the support is for Chrome but I've had good luck with it for IE and Firefox and allegedly it works with Safari.

I used jqModal few times and I'm very satisfied. It is pretty configurable yet very light weight.
