As far as I can tell they don't do anything. The popup mechanism just checks for the existence of the tiddler.
If I understand what is going on you are looking for something more complex than it actually is. To make the not-quite simplest popup controlled by a button just paste this into a tiddler: <$reveal type='popup' class='tc-popup-keep' state='bob' position='above'> <div style='background-color:pink'> HELLO!! </div> </$reveal> <$button popup='bob'> Test </$button> The tc-popup-keep class is needed if you want the popup to stay when a person clicks inside the popup. The position='above' part is just to make it more obvious that it isn't in the normal tiddler. The content inside can be any wikitext or html/css like in a normal tiddler. You can style the revealed content using normal css to make it appear in the middle of the screen or wherever you want it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
