Buttonized dialog box?

I'm struggling to figure out how to take a buttonized image (icon like) and have it open a small dialog box that contains some text information. I looked at jQuery and their dialog demo is close but in the case of VSD there is no way of associating the buttonized object to execute the HTML or jQuery script. Is this possible or does anyone have a suggestion I should try?

The other Idea I would like to try is using the same buttonized icon image to open a small slide out box that again contains text information.

thx

I found this web link describing a drop down panel with HTML text (see panel example demo)
http://labs.abeautifulsite.net/jquery-dropdown/#1
but am clueless where and how to put everything together for VSD to make a simple drop-down panel when clicking a buttonized text box. Could somebody walk me through the process on how to make this work? Sorry if it seems like a simple task but I'm a noob to web design and how to add scripts or code to it.

thx

Step 1. Copy the code in step one and place it in the header tab of a html box then add the files that are linked to in those to the root of your site.
Step 2. Copy the code in step 2 and add it to the body html tab of the same html box as above.
Step 3. Enjoy.:)
