You can use this little plugin which uses the same jQuery plugin to creae modal windows easily in any page or post or even on a widget uisng shortcode.
I have also added another functionality into this plugin, which will let you to embed your modal content into your post a page directly.
<h3>Usage</h3>
Upon activation, the plugin will create a custom post type called ‘Modals’. Where you can add your content, which later you can use it on a modal or embed directly into your page or post.
<ol>
<li>[modal]</li>
<li>[block] </li>
</ol>
<h3>modal</h3>
the ‘modal’ shortcode is to create modal windows.
For now the [modal] shortcode comes with four attributes.
id 
Your modal id. eg: [modal id=2]Click here[/modal]
data 
If your modal only going to have just text, you can directly add the content in the shortcode. eg: [modal data=”This is my modal content”]Click here[/modal]. This shortcode is much useful when you want to add a modal window to a word in a paragrap without braking the paragrap.
<pre><code>note: you cannot use both id and data in the same shortcode
</code></pre>
background 
This is to style the link and the modal window background. Have to specify a valid color. eg: [modal id=2 background=”#DDDDDD”]Click here[/modal]
color 
This attribute is to change the color of the link. eg: [modal id=2 background=”#DDDDDD” color=”#000000″]Click here[/modal]
<h3>block</h3>
The ‘block’ shortcode is to embed your modal content into any page or post. It only has one attribute.
id 
id of the modal post type post.
<pre><code>note: both block and modal shortcodes uses the same Modals custom post type.
</code></pre>
