params:

x - number, x-position of the area
y - number, y-position of the area
width - number, the width of the area
height - number, the height of the area

// initializes popup
var myPop = new dhtmlXPopup();
myPop.attachHTML("I'm a popup near the specified area");
 
// assuming that we have a div and we need to show a popup near it
var myArea = document.getElementById("myArea");
 
// collect coordinates and dimensions
var x = window.dhx.absLeft(myArea);
var y = window.dhx.absTop(myArea);
var width = myArea.offsetWidth;
var height = myArea.offsetHeight;
 
// show popup
myPop.show(x, y, width, height);
