Simple Popups

I am trying to add a simple popup to a page. This is part of a custom plugin I am building. Basically, I have two spots on the page I need a user to be able to click and get information, in this case, a small help guide or a privacy statement.

I manually integrated ThickBox into this page and have that working, but I am having difficulty getting all my content to appear. If I add a heading element, the text below it doesn’t show. That is my current problem, however, if someone can instruct me on the easiest way to display a simple popup in WP I could probably dump the custom thickbox stuff and use something more native to WP.

I originally wanted to create a standalone page in my plugin directory which simply outputs the content I want in the popup (which is user editable and is using WP options). I tried to build standalone pages earlier with this mod and had trouble integrating with WP. With directions on how to create this simple page that pulls the WP option and returns it as the page content I could probably use thickbox easier that way. I’m up for anything, just something that gets the job done.
