Session description

No longer do we need hacks and such to send an element into the freewheeling space above our websites. The new popover API gives us a wealth of resources to make pop ups happen with just HTML, no CSS or JavaScript required. Pop on in to this session to see how it's done. Unfortunately, neither popcorn nor pop-tarts will be served during this session.
