How to create "pods" in published output

I'm looking for a way to add a floating box/button that always appears in output, like the one on this Adobe page:

Adobe RoboHelp 11 * Working with pods

(Does anyone see the irony in this?)

I was arguing with the boss that pods are only pieces of the RoboHelp UI. Imagine my surprise when he sent me this code, which he obtained by viewing source for the linked page above.

<div style="display: block;" id="ahpod"> <img id="showpod" src="/en_US/shared/ahpods/images/pod_show.png" onclick="javascript:showPod();" title="Show other versions"> <img id="hidepod" src="/en_US/shared/ahpods/images/pod_hide.png" onclick="javascript:slideOut('24');" title="Hide other versions"> <br clear="all"> <div id="podContent"><!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?--><meta name="lang" content="en-us">...

It looks like, in this code, "pod" is just a term used in HTML labels that RoboHelp creates by using some functionality I don't know about and can't find in the help.I don't see any actual HTML code for "pod." I do find the following by doing an Internet seach: pod (python open document) is a library that allows to easily generate documents whose content is dynamic. This from Applications in Python.

Does anyone have any more information on this?
