Richard, why are you posting this all to comp.lang.php?
Your modal boxes are client-side and have nothing to do with PHP.
A better place would be a javascript (eg comp.lang.javascript) oriented
newsgroup, or HTML oriented one (alt.html maybe).

Because like JRough, he still has no idea what the difference is.

Please read the post again. Do I not ask about possibly loading the
information in the division through the use of PHP?
And I have asked in other groups.

I do understand the difference. With this basic bit of javascript, I can
save a ton of space and loading times, by utilizing php as the building
block for the information in the popup box.

When I had a similar situation, I calculated the download times and went
for a compromise. All the data but only small thumbnails, comes done in
one 'get', and then a page reload or partial page reload happens when
the user selects a particular item.
My site works well over a modem link.
Large amounts of text and javascript can be loaded relatively fast
especially if you use compression.
BUT images are the killer. It is always worth preparing, dynamically or
statically, thumbnails that are the correct final size for the display.
Most images are pre-compressed anyway, so that is the only way to reduce
download times.
If you do choose dynamic resizing at the server side, be aware that this
is very compute intensive. In my site where volume is very low, this is
not an issue: in a busy site I would definitely - say - add a thumbnail
BLOB to any image: If that was null the software would dynamically
prepare the thumbnail and insert it in the database, otherwise it would
serve the thumbnail from the database directly.
This avoids having to manually rescale thousands of images ..which is a
lot longer than writing the above code.

Maybe I misinterpret your posting.
I find it hard to estimate what you understand and what not, let alone
where your problem lies.
In my experience: if people cannot ask their questions clearly, they
don't know what problem is they are solving.
Similarly, when you can clearly phrase your question, you'll often find
the answer. (Rubber Duck principle)
In your case, even after rereading your question a few times, I still
don't know what your problem is/what you are solving.
So instead of telling me to reread it, you would make more progress
solving it by clearly asking.

Just because you used teh word php in your post, doesn't make the
question about php.
