How to Build a PopUp Menu

I want to make a table with clickable columns (better if they can also
be highlighted) which when clicked opens up a pop up menu which contains
a form something like the Google Calender if anyone has seen it…
Can anyone give me directions how to go about doing this? Would I be
needing both Javascript and Ajax along with RoR or is it just possible
with Ajax n RoR?

the substruct project has something of a popup when you click on ‘add to
cart’ – might be a good example.
Basically when you click on it you want to open up either a hidden div
or an iframe.

Maybe you could use modal controls, like lightboxes, see the examples
here

There are examples with ajax calls and iframes, and the best of all is
that is using prototype.
