Super-simple lightbox for hidden divs ?

There are so many lightbox implementations that it is hard to choose one.

I need just the modality, darkening, and at most a completely customizable close button and border. No fancy stuff hard to get rid of.

The main requirement is that it must support that the content is in a hidden div.

It should take care by itself of inserting a darkening div, if it needs one.

Priority is given to browser compatibility.

Thanks
 
Not sure it fits all of your requirements, but it should be able to with a bit of tweaking:

iBox

Definitely does hidden divs though. Scroll down for and example.
 
Thanks. Maybe I should have clarified that I would like to know why I should choose it. I've already found long lists of alternatives that do not help much in making a choice.
 
They're all just clones doing essentially the same thing. Most are no better than others if the meet the need. I even have my own clone that I developed that I use on my site. You can check out this lightbox clone matrix, which list some things that may make you lean toward one over another.
 
I have tried several, and I still have to find one that works right.

Which ones are not GPL and autocenter the lightbox?
 
HTML: 
<script>
$(function(){
	$('#button').click(function(){$('#overlay').show();$('#lightbox').show();return false;});
});
<script>
<style>
	#overlay{display:none;width:100%;height:100%;background:#000;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;
	-moz-opacity:.50; filter:alpha(opacity=50); opacity:.50}
	#lightbox{display:none;background:#fff;height:100px;width:100px;position:absolute;top:50%;left:50%;margin:-50px 0 0 -50px}
</style>
<body>
	<div id="lightbox">OMG</div>
	<div id="overlay"></div>
	<a href="#" id="#button">OMG</a>
</body>

There you go, that'll be $100

(dont forget to include good ole' jquery at the top)
