Answer 2

One option is magnific popup.

Magnific popup

Another option is Avgrund.js

Avgrund.js

However, if you really want to do it on you own without external sources, then create a div with all the options. Then style it using css, and set visibility to invisible. Finally, using jquery, make it visible on button click.
