I have corrected that now, and the first file is at both:- http://freepages.computers.ancestry.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/xhr/xhr-test.html and http://freepages.computers.ancestry.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/xhr/xhr-test.htm No idea why some of you are having trouble with:- <http://freepages.computers.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bristowe/xhr/draggable-div.html> but on checking the url, I found it wasn't valid.

Barry, I didn't understand much of your first post -- LOL! But, could something like this work to present, say, the data from a Birth-Marriage-Death Register Book? Let me explain. Could one of these pages hold "one person" data, with the buttons you used then assigned to show a different part of a person's record. For example: Button 1: Birth Record Button 2: Early Life / Schooling Button 3: Marriage Record Button 4: Military Service Button 5: Death Record Button 6: Photos If something like that could work, would individual pages just be linked together as usual? And, where would the webmaster type the data for each button-section? Would the called files be able to be formatted? Like Person's Name centered as H1, paragraph breaks, etc? Could a web visitor print each "section" of "a record"? Sorry that I don't always understand right off. If it could work, it'd be a nice way to do the project I have in mind.

You do not need to use buttons, but can activate the pseudo pop-up windows by using hyperlinks suitably encoded with the javascript onClick function. You could have a sequence of links as you have listed throughout your text, and clicking each will display the appropriate text/image in the pseudo popup. Infact you will not even need to close the last opened, as the next called will replace the contents and styling of the first. A few days ago when you were wanting to create a hidden link, you retrieved a lorem-ipsum.txt file. Here is a link to that same file, and it has the styles included in it:- http://freepages.computers.rootsweb.com/~bristowe/xhr/lorem-ipsum-1.txt Styles prefixed #xhr relate to the pseudo window frame, and those prefixed #xml relate to the file contents.
