problem with javascript pop-up display in windows 8 IE11

Normally, if i create a javascript pop-up, the link will open the specified htm file in something that
looks like a tool-tip at the cursor location. This is the way it works in IE10 in windows 7 and is what I want.

Unfortunately, in windows 8.0 IE 11, it opens a new browser window in the top left
corner of the display. I don't like this
because, instead of easily
clicking away to close the pop-up, the user has to close a browser window. Ths is especially not user friendly when using tap gesture in tablet.

I would appreciate a way to modify the html to continue to get the tool tip
style pop-up in windows 8.

here's the html:

FilePopupInit('a1');
//]]></script><?rh-script_end
?>
</body>
</html>

I prefer not to get stuck in forum Ping-Pong. I posted there first and the link they gave me brought me here.  Here's their response:
