Natively I think there are none. But there are lots of UI toolkits that provides such functionality, such as jQuery-UI, the dojo toolkit and also the Yahoo-UI.

But is jQuery UI modal dialog accept a page url to be opened as modal dialog? – Ahmed Atia Feb 09 '10 at 11:32

I don't think so, it uses a DIV element as a container for your stuff, but you could place an IFRAME element within it and load the URL you want. – Pablo Cabrera Feb 09 '10 at 12:44

As of the asp.net tag: the ajax control toolkit has an ModalPopupExtender. Maybe this one is yours.

jQuery UI provides dialogs and in this you can have a modal dialog also. Check out this
http://jqueryui.com/demos/dialog/#modal
You can set the modal
option to be true
to get the modal dialog. See options section in this page.
$('.selector').dialog({ modal: true });
