How to create a Popup using visualforce ?

I'm new to visualforce and i know a way of creating a popup using javascript. Is there anyother way to create a popup which doesn't involve javascript?

I want my code to be a purely visualforce code

The only way I'm aware of doing something like this with just visualforce would be to have an apex:outputPanel with a styleclass that made it look like a popup. This would be rendered false when the page first loads, then rerendered as true based on some action on the page.

To do this would require going back to the controller to set a variable that controls the rendering of the outputPanel and might not be the best in terms of user experience. The great thing about javascript is it is all client side. I'd recommend using javascript for a popup as it will result in better user experience.
