Strange.  I was positive that this is _exactly_ what I had in there before, 
and it caused the buttons to appear relative to the portal window instead 
of the DIV.  I must've had a typo I didn't catch, because it works when I 
do it this way now.  Thanks for the help!  Wonder what my typo 
was...  Whatever it was, it prompted an hour or more of troubleshooting 
before I sent my first email. :-(

I didn't even notice that.  Firefox opens this page up instantly and 
doesn't block any popups.  I tried it on IE, and it took forever to 
load.  I went back to Firefox and realized that it was because I hadn't 
told NoScript to allow hitflow.com - when I did that, Firefox took awhile 
to load the page too, and blocked a popup.

I guess I'll rework this page.  I'm using fileh.com because they give me 
2.5GB of space, and I've got 200+MB of videos to incorporate into 
this.  It'll be easy to host the HTML files themselves on my ISP's 10MB 
space and link over to fileh.com for the AVI files.  The script seems to be 
kicked off by the lines that the site auto-inserts into any HTML files 
uploaded, and doesn't affect other file types.  Thanks for pointing this 
out! I'd have never noticed it if someone who set their browser up to allow 
all of that crap didn't point it out for me, since I do my cross-browser 
testing locally. ;-)
