We are using lightbox to view photos and it seems to work pretty well.  
I think you can use it to display HTML as well.

Subject: [Rails] Lightbox

Hello there,

I am looking for some javascript plugin for rails to show dialogs in  
my pages without opening a new browser window. I found this one but it  
is buggy and don’t seems to be updated for a while  
([http://blog.craigambrose.com/past/2006/8/16/redbox-a-rails-compatible-lightbox/](http://blog.craigambrose.com/past/2006/8/16/redbox-a-rails-compatible-lightbox/)).  
Do you know some?

Thanks in advance,

–
