Objective:
Entry-level Coldfusion programmer, trying to use popup windows (via mouseover) to display a range of cells containing data in an Access database.

Example: (Roll the mouse over the below text):
Vehicle Code Sec 3, paragraph 1.1 - 2.2

Desired Result:
a popup window displays the full text contained in every paragraph ranging from paragraph no. 1.1 through 2.2.

Each paragraph would have its own section/paragraph number(under the column ParagraphNum) assigned to it, such as 1.1, 1.2, 2.1, 2.2, etc.) A corresponding column(ParagraphText) would then contain the actual text of the paragraph.

Make it Dynamic!
Such data needs to be dynamically pulled from the database and appear in a popup window.

Why Dynamic?
The reason this needs to be dynamically pulled from a database as opposed to manually creating a static popup for every occurance is due to the fact that:

1) the same range of paragraphs are referenced often throughout several documents.
2) there are literally hundreds of such references inside these documents; to do them all manually would take forever.

Problem:
To somehow combine javascript mouseover code with coldfusion; and to write the code so that it will pull in a range of paragraphs;
