Control.Modal 2.1 Released

Also known as "the release that should have been 2.0". Long story short, I didn't test the edge cases nearly well enough and have ended up making a lot fixes in 2.0 → 2.1 than I did from 1.2 → 2.0. What changed?

• imageTemplate, imageAutoDisplay, evalScripts options have been removed
• overlay positioning in non IE browsers is CSS based now (== faster)
• overlay positioning in IE is fixed
• overlay positioning when the modal is bigger than the document is fixed in all cases that I tested
• image loading / position timing is fixed across all browsers

A lot of my answers to display bugs in the last week has been "yes yes, I'll get to it", but this release should fix most of the common problems. Still running into problems? Post about it in the forums ASAP!

This is the first release that has fewer options (yes!), and is the first one I feel really great about in a while. As it turns out, modal windows are ripe for edge cases, and aren't particularly easy to write if you hope to cover even half of those cases. This is my shot at it, and I'm finally proud of it.
