z-index: 100;
overflow:hidden;
visibility: hidden;
}

#dropinboxv2{

Here is where it decides if it is going to display:

if (displaymode=="oncepersession" && get_cookie("droppedinv2")=="" || displaymode=="always" || parseInt(displaymode)!=NaN && random_num==0){
if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", initboxv2, false)
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", initboxv2)
else if (document.getElementById || document.all)
window.onload=initboxv2
if (displaymode=="oncepersession")
document.cookie="droppedinv2=yes"
}

If you want to control it from a mouse or other event, you can get rid of all that. Then, on your page where you want it to get activated, use a normal event to trigger it like:

<a href="info.htm" onclick="initboxv2();return false;">Click for Info</a>

Using this method, whatever info is in the box can also be on info.htm. That way, non javascript enabled browsers will be taken to info.htm and javascript enabled folks will get the drop down box. Or, if you want to use a button with no alternative content for non javascript folks:

<input type="button" value="Info" onclick="initboxv2();" />

Basically, you can use any triggering event you like.
