Create a Button that Displays a Window Container

Description

You can use action javascript attached to a button control in order to display a window container.

A window container can be displayed using the Show container window action. Window containers can be used to display maps, dropdown lists, lists, and other control types. Normally the container is hidden until the button with the Show container window action is clicked.
