I don't know anything about jQuery "modal pop-ups" or "dialog" is to avoid it. Thats why I need some help to figure it out.
In your code, you did not try even the pop-up windows, but maybe this is only a good things, as pop-ups is evil (more exactly, they have been extensively used for evil purposes), many users will block them.
You should not be confuses by "customer wants it", because a customer may need some logical behavior, not a particular inconvenient or irritating effect associated with popup windows. Effectively, customer may need logical modal behavior and may be unaware of really good ways to present it. A jQuery "modal popup" or a dialog is really a way to go.
First of all, test these samples, all of them:

Please spot the difference between creation of a new browser window and a modal behavior
on the same page. Can you see why first thing is so bad and the second approach can be blessing? This is really a way to go.
Now, this is the "standard" jQuery dialog:

You will immediately see the demo. Try some of other options on your right of this demo. See the difference?
