Lightbox

A lot of new websites today have dynamic photo gallery, just when you click an image from that site (for example, Newgrounds.com (a flash portal site) click one of there flash movies/games). You will notice it will not open a pop-up window but instead the browser will covered by a opaque black and the image or embed flash will show. Isn't that a clean for a website to view images directly in one (1) browser window.
