Internet Explorer 5.5 features the popup object. popup objects display document fragment at the topmost level. This feature is useful for displaying menus or images that might have been prepared separately from the main document. The following example prepares a line of text as the object content and displays it on top of the tip:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
var oPopup = window.createPopup();
var oPopupBody = oPopup.document.body;
oPopupBody.innerHTML = "<I>This is useful for off-line rendering</I>";
oPopup.show(300, 100, 200, 50, document.body);
// -->
</SCRIPT>
