Sorry, wasn't the question about KF8? Not ePUB3? If we're talking about ePUBs, then, yes, of course, you can use javascript. If we're talking about KF8--perhaps I misunderstood the question, but as this was the Kindle formats forum, it's what I assumed--no, it cannot be done.

You can float elements left-right, but what is the need for a pop-up? Why not just put the text beneath/near whatever it is you need to discuss? Below it? In a faux-text-box with it, so you can have fallback styling that will work on the millions of K7 devices out there? Can you explain what your need is, a little more clearly, so maybe someone here can assist you? Otherwise, just put the text beneath whatever it is you're trying to get them to look at/read.
