What is the difference between a modal window and a dialog box?

The question describes exactly what I want to know. What is the difference between a modal window and a dialog. When does a modal window become a dialog and vice versa? How can I reach both? A tip in the right direction would be much appreciated.

A modal window is windows that run on top of the application, so you cannot do anything with the application until you close the modal window.

The jQuery dialog is not a separate window, so technically it cannot be a modal window. It can, however, emulate much of what a modal window does by placing an overlay element on top of the rest of the page so that you cannot interact with it.

The modal window will not allow you to continue until you close it.
