You should be able to use the one I have on my site:

If you don't want the typing effect, just display the text all at once instead of using the lootext() function

Yep, roymarchand's probably more elegant than mine: I still have code for (but no longer use) a calendar that, when moused over a date, a separate small window would pop up showing text containing the date's events - holidays, appointments, etc. But that's a bunch of javascript and a window.open()
