Building Pop-Up DIVs with the DOM and AJAX - Completing the pop-up DIV script
(Page 4 of 4 )
As I promised in the section that you just read, here is the complete source code that corresponds to this pop-up DIV application, this time including some CSS rules to polish the look and feel of the respective web page and make the pop-up work correctly.

div.appendChild(document.createTextNode('This is a
sample content for pop-up DIV element.'));

<h1>JavaScript-based Pop-up Div</h1>
<div class="popupcontainer" id="container">
<p>Content for containing DIV goes here...<br />

All right, that’s all you need to have a fully-functional pop-up DIV, ready to include into any web document. In addition, you can download a ZIP file (included at the beginning of this article) that contains a working example that includes the limitations that I outlined in a previous section. I hope you find this script useful! (link to pop_up_div.zip goes here).
Final thoughts
In the first part of the series, I showed you how to create a simple pop-up DIV, which admittedly includes some limitations, since it won’t be displayed by Internet Explorer when the web page is scrolled down.
Nevertheless, this bug will be fixed in the next article, in addition to expanding the initial script to work with multiple pop-up DIVs. This is really interesting, thus don’t miss the next tutorial!
