To open compare item page in modal window we need to edit file ‘sidebar.phtml’ path given below
template/catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml
add the following js at the end of sidebar.phtml
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
function showCompare(url) {
winCompare = new Window({className:'magento',title:'Compare Products',url:url,width:820,height:600,minimizable:false,maximizable:false,showEffectOptions:{duration:0.4},hideEffectOptions:{duration:0.4}});
winCompare.setZIndex(100);
winCompare.showCenter(true);
}
// ]]></script>
we also need to edit like
<button class="button" title="<?php echo $this->__('Compare') ?>" onclick="popWin('<?php echo $_helper->getListUrl() ?>','compare','top:0,left:0,width=820,height=600,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes')" type="button"></button>
With
<button class="button" title="<?php echo $this->__('Compare') ?>" onclick="showCompare('<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/product_compare')->getListUrl() ?>')" type="button"></button>
This is due to some of the links like Add to Cart and Add to Wishlist use setPLocation to set the target page URL.
This won’t work in our pop-up since window.js loads the page into an iframe.
So the remedy is to override the product/compare/list.phtml and add:
<script type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
function setILocation(url){
window.parent.location.href = url;
}
// ]]>
</script>
Then replace all setPLocation calls with setILocation. and you are done

You should also mention about adding window.js and css files to page head

Magento works on prototype.js and window.js and its css already included no need to add those files
