overlay a div over another one with css

I have a wrapper div that has some css property set. on click of a button i have to show an overly with some message.

<div class="dvLanding">
 <div class="popupArea">
            <span class="VoteOnce">You can only vote once.</span> <a style="vertical-align: top">
                <img alt="close" src="../../Images/error1-exit-button.png" /></a></div></div>
    </div>

my css classes.

.dvVoteWrapper
{
    background-color: #949494;
    opacity: 0.5;
    filter: Alpha(opacity=50);
    display:none;
    width: 1024px;
    height: 768px;
    position: absolute;
}

.popupArea
{
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
}

.dvLanding
{
    background-image: url(/Images/screen1-bg-logos.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}
   .VoteOnce
{
    font-family: Calibri regular;
    font-size: 24pt;
    background-image: url(/Images/error1-vote-once-bg.png);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width:288px;
    height:74px;
    color: #000000;
}

i am removing the display:none attribute with jquery. When applying this classes it is not covering the full page and looking distorted. kindly suggest how to do this. for better understandingenter image description here i have attached the screen shots
