Does this make sense Pat?
function makePopUp(type,x,y,width,height,bgColour,borderColour,src)
{
//make the div and style it (we always do this)...
var create_div = document.createElement("DIV");
create_div.style.height = height + "px";
create_div.style.width = width + "px";
create_div.style.position = "absolute";
create_div.style.top = x + "px";
create_div.style.left = y + "px";
create_div.style.background = bgColour;
create_div.style.border = "1px solid " + borderColour;
//if we make a div, set the innerHTML
if (type == 'div')
{
create_div.innerHTML = src;
}
//else we make an iframe, so set the URL
if(type == 'iframe')
{
var iframe_create_div = document.createElement("IFRAME");
iframe_create_div.src = src;
iframe_create_div.style.height = height + "px";
iframe_create_div.style.width = width + "px";
create_div.appendChild(iframe_create_div);
}
//we're done: append the finished div
document.getElementById("popup_parent").appendChild(create_div);
}

In zip modified preview_xerte_top - including fixed link for testing (and functions and slight HTML mods)
and modfied rloobject.js (wmode = opaque) to allow for zindex pops up above the flash.
