It was really just the result of a musing. Instead of piping the result of
a SOAP/Webservice query as in DictionaryPop to the popup function I
downloaded a website and had it display the XML/XHTML code. I don't
remember the details and don't have the code handy on this machine but I
don't think it would be an easy feature to add.

Shouldn't be to hard, glancing over the original defer_tools.js file's
displayPopupMessage. Just mess with the dqsdMessagePopup.hide() method.
(Oops, evidently not, see other message by Shawn.)

the sides and top,etc.
Sure that's easy, dqsdMessagePopup.show(x, y, Width, Height,
document.body) is the function and parameters you want, I think. Double
check params though.
I have a newer version, much improved, still alpha quality, I just grabbed
from my other pc and it is attached. It's hacky but kind of neat and
useful for quick stuff besides that. Note you *NEED* to explicitly use a
flag to do anything otherwise it errs. Aliases were my way of using it. I
don't remember what issues I was having fixing that bug but I just coded
all the URLs I wanted into the javascript, not too hard to decipher that
much, take a look. It's been over a year since I've touched it so a few of
the decisions are sort of blurry and I have no idea what I've improved
since the listserv version, a few some major bugs for sure though.
Enjoy,
