   * argument. If attributesOverride is false, the attributes are only used

   * For an anchored popup, the x and y arguments may be used to offset the 
   * popup from its anchored position by some distance, measured in CSS pixels.
   * x increases to the right and y increases down. Negative values may also
   * be used to move to the left and upwards respectively.
   *
   * Unanchored popups may be created by supplying null as the anchor node.
