Bruce, per your user-group suggestion this morning, I was successful in embedding a button on my static page. For anyone who reads this, I wanted to display a popup form from a button press on a static web page, in this case my index page. Bruce suggested creating a NetTalkForm that consisted of only a button, nothing else. The documentation for placing this form in the staic page code is in the NetTalk docs/Basic Techniques/Using Browses and Forms on Static Pages. Once I had the NetTalkForm button working, then I could have it do anything I wanted per normal template coding.
Thanks,
Mark
