Improvements to TRIRIGA popups for Chrome and Firefox

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Current issues with Tririga pop-ups in Chrome and Firefox:
1) They are not modal, user should not be able to engage with the content underneath the modal window.
2) Sometimes the entire popup is not visible (nested popups), text is cut off
3) Return focus to the element that activated the modal when the modal is closed using the ESC key or close button. The focus should be moved back to whichever element opened the dialog
4) Put a shadow or a transparent overlay behind it, users need to recognize that it's a secondary window overlaid on the main one. It is unclear which content is blocked from interaction.
5) Keyboard focus can be moved out of the window, this cause confusion and it's difficult to get the focus back into the popup. Trap the forward tab key to redirect it to the first element of the popup.

The below links describe the best practices for popup windows.
