Nice use of Scriptaculous!

To create a popup with HTML, just stick the HTML into a DIV without the height/width set and it should automatically resize (depending on your stylesheet settings). Then, use javascript to position the DIV. My biggest problem when I create these type of popups is setting a width or height and then the rendering not working.

I don't recommend this method .

This method? My method? Are you serious? If so, please justify.

I guess I should add that http://htmlcosponsor.co.uk/testuser/popupad.html doesn't come up.

I do not recommend regular popups because IE 7 and other tabbed browsers can force you to open the popups in another tab instead of a fixed window, So you would be better off using "Web Page Dialog" as a type of popup because those DO NOT and CANNOT open up in another tab. But its just a suggestion.
