Er, ahem... well, the page you reference above contains a rather nice 
script for doing this, actually :)

If you look at the source for the navigation frame to the left, you'll see 
that they're using image rollovers in conjunction with layers in order to 
create the "overlapping" effect of the pop-ups (i.e., the yellow windows 
overlap the adjacent frame.)

The Javascript they use is abundantly commented and quite robust, with 
various error-catching routines included.  Nice little script all in all.

If you want to create a similar effect without using images, see the 
tutorial on Javascript "tooltips" at WebReference:
