Here's a JS fiddle of what I am talking about:
http://jsfiddle.net/r77K8/98/
My overlay gives the appearance of having disabled the link, but the link still remains clickable. I looked through some examples of modal dialog windows in hopes of finding a solution. As far as I can tell I need to use absolute positioning.
I am hesitant to do so because in reality my content is dynamically populated. It seems like a lot of added work to try and keep the overlay the correct dimensions -- I really like how it looks right now, I just would like to make the controls unclickable while the overlay is the parent. Is this possible?
In your example, it looks like you have the contents that you are trying to disable INSIDE the overlay div. In order for this to work, you need to put the overlay div OVER the contents, so place it after your contents. That way it covers up your content div.
And yes, your overlay should have absolute positioning so that you place it at the top-right corner of the parent container and give it 100% width and height, so that it covers the entire parent container.
See this jsfiddle for an example.
EDIT:
Try this example instead. Put both the contents and the overlay in a container. That way, the overlay will only take up that part of the page.
Notice that the container divs (divLink1 and divLink2) must have position:relative for this to work. According to the absolute description in this link, "The element is positioned relative to its first positioned (not static) ancestor element." So you have to set the containers to position:relative, but don't actually move them.

I have this page where I tried to create a on page pop-up for an image using JS/JQuery, following this example (http://www.jqueryscript.net/lightbox/Simple-jQuery-Plugin-For-Opening-A-Popup-Window-On-Page-load.html).
Although I succeeded on it, when I try to implement it on my customer page, some divs are on front of my pop-up, no matter how high I configure the "z-index" for it. Also, these divs seem to be dinamically generated, as they have the "wrap" id div around that I can't find on my .php file for this page.
So, no matter what I do, these images are on front of my pop-up (except if I remove them using the "Inspect element" tool or change the z-index on them with Inspect Element, changing the inline style for this automatically generated "wrap" div).
This is the page without any changes on "Inspect Element", the white image boxes with the red arrows are the problem here (they belong to the page under the pop-up and I need them to be under the pop-up): http://imgur.com/waB1igo
This is what happens if I change the z-index of the automatically generated div "wrap" that I can find searching the code with "Inspect element" for one of the boxes (the first one): imgur.com/lDk1eRA
So, any of you guys have a tip for me on how to solve this problem?
I've already tried to create new css rules for this div or the img's tags, using the "!important" and these kind of things, without result.
Thanks very much in advance and sorry for english errors,
Matheus Barreto.
You might want to try setting the position property of the overlay to absolute. Images that have their positions set to absolute will get on top of everything that is not set to position absolute or fixed which can be very annoying. You might need to work around a bit with centering it or other issues that come from setting its position to absolute but this should work.
Try to make sure your overlay DIVs are outside wrappers, inside the </body> tag, before closing scripts... If the DIV is inside another that has a lower z-index, it won't "pop out" of it.
Also, you may try really high z-index, such as 8000 or higher. You should be able to use up to 65535 (higher depending on the browser's implementation).
It's worth noting that you should have a plan for z indexes of fixed/absolutely positioned items.
I've a tricky problem. So I have two fixed element with space in between under those two elements I have a relative positioned element, everything is ok so far. Now when I scroll the relative positioned element will scroll and appear in between the two fixed elements and on top of the first one, here is the jsfiddle to make it clearer. I'd like the relative positioned content not to appear when scroll, like if it was a box scrolling with an overflow hidden.
The goal is to do a kind of box scrolling but with a window scrolling.
I'd like a css solution but I'm also opened to any js solution.
What about this?

fixed has a background
you can also add padding to body if you don't want to set a background to fixed
Could make a zindexed div with a background set to the same color as the page bg, put that over the relative positioned div and under the absolutes so when the relative div scrolls to that point of the page it appears to dissapear how I believe you want it to, or just use overflow hidden and absolute positioning to lock it into place and clip the content.
I want to make the screen pretty dark via CSS beside one DOM element and it's children
How do I do that?
EDIT: I want to do something similar to chrome's dev tools 'inspect element' UI
Create a div layer on top of the whole viewport. Give it some transparency or simply a solid background colour. Raise the element you want to be on top of that layer using CSS z-index.
As #jfriend00 pointed out, you first need to change position of your element to absolute or relative. Then, you have to position the element again using left and top (for example).
How do I create a div which will act like a relatively positioned div (as in it cannot allow elements behind it) and still will also act like an absolutely positioned div (as in it can freely be positioned)? I am willing to use javascript and jQuery if needed.
Example: or a similar effect
I don't think you can do what you're asking for in the way you're asking for it. You should be able to fake it adequately though.
Say you wanted to "insert" a sidebar that pushes all the main content on a page over by 200 pixels (the width of the sidebar). You could increase the left margin of the page/container by 200px (animate it if you wanna be flashy) and then absolutely position your div where you want it (you could animate it sliding in from off screen if you want it to appear as if it is "pushing" the other content over). If I understood the question correctly, then this should accomplish the visual effect you're going for.
I think you mean Draggable elements, you can use jQuery User Interface:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/draggable/
I want to write a jQuery plugin with some visual effect for selected divs.
Integrating a plugin would look like so:
$('.myclass').mypluginfunction();
Visually it would be a transparent div over the whole element, with moving background.
Is it possible to dynamically add divs without destroying e.g floated divs?
I know that the solution would be adding an absolute position to div with bigger z-index.
You don't even need to tinker with the z-index. An element lower in the source will overlay content before it. Set your elements to position: relative and append an absolutely positioned div with width and height set to 100% - this will effectively overlay it.
Get yourself Chrome (or Firebug) and play with $.append() in the console:
$('*').css('position', 'relative').append('<div style="position:absolute; width:100%; height:100%; background: #F00; opacity:0.5;"></div>');
This will position every element on your site relatively, then append an absolutely positioned div with a red background. You should see every single element on your site being overlayed by it.
Of course this is going to explode, a little, but it gives you an idea of how easy to use this technique is.
