jQuery UI: How to use ui-widget-overlay by itself?

I want to avoid the user to change the screen during ajax calls. So I was thinking to use jQuery UI overlay (the overlay of the modal dialogs) but without any dialog. I couldn’t find any way to do this.

Is there any way to show a modal without a dialog?

I take this answer of another SO question.

Here there is a fiddle.

And the code:

$("body").append($.ui.dialog.overlay.create())
