Jon,

You are right, it was a lot of code, but you were still missing a couple of
js files! It is unnecessary to have language=jscript, it should be
javascript.

The box has nothing to do with JScript or JavaScript. It is an iframe, an
HTML4 tag that allows you to embed one page inside another. JavaScript
treats it like a frame in a frameset (but some browsers like the extra
'window').
var x = window.frames['iframeName'].window.document;
x.open();
x.write('new page content, including HTML tags etc.');
x.close();
It is supported by all modern browsers (NOT Netscape 4, Escape 4 or OmniWeb
4.2-). Because the graph uses absolute CSS positioning, the box could also
have been done using a relatively positioned DIV element. This would also
work in Netscape 4 and Escape (but not Opera 6-).

If you want to rewrite the contents of an iframe yourself, you may find
that many browsers will not rewite the contents, because they need the
iframe's initial page to be in the same domain as the parent page, or their
security model is even tighter than that. What does help is this (although
it adds one history entry every time):
var locToOpen = ( window.opera || ( document.layers &&
  !navigator.mimeTypes['*'] ) || navigator.vendor == 'KDE' ||
  ( document.childNodes && !document.all && !navigator.taintEnabled ) ) ?
    '' : 'about:blank';
var x = ( window.open(locToOpen,'iframeName') ).document;
x.open();
x.write('new page content, including HTML tags etc.');
x.close();

Is this what you wanted?
