I can provide you the code. Do your modifications as necessary, OK?

Page JavaScript:

function myPop() { 
    this.square = null;
    this.overdiv = null;

    this.popOut = function(msgtxt) {
        //filter:alpha(opacity=25);-moz-opacity:.25;opacity:.25;
        this.overdiv = document.createElement("div");
        this.overdiv.className = "overdiv";

        this.square = document.createElement("div");
        this.square.className = "square";
        this.square.Code = this;
        var msg = document.createElement("div");
        msg.className = "msg";
        msg.innerHTML = msgtxt;
        this.square.appendChild(msg);
        var closebtn = document.createElement("button");
        closebtn.onclick = function() {
            this.parentNode.Code.popIn();
        }
        closebtn.innerHTML = "Close";
        this.square.appendChild(closebtn);

        document.body.appendChild(this.overdiv);
        document.body.appendChild(this.square);
    }
    this.popIn = function() {
        if (this.square != null) {
            document.body.removeChild(this.square);
            this.square = null;
        }
        if (this.overdiv != null) {
        document.body.removeChild(this.overdiv);
        this.overdiv = null;
        }

    }
}

Now the HTML page, using the JavaScript file:

Hope that this can help.
