Figured it out.
What I needed was this thing called a hook. (I'm still learning)
a function defined in popBox.js (OnAfterLoad, that Does Nothing) that is
called at the end of onload.
This allowed us to redefine the function on the calling page. (after it
is first defined but before it is called)
So that when the onload function ran the layer would be shown or not
shown depending if OnAfterLoad is defined on the calling page.
It seems klunky but I'll take what works.
