Help with Javascript button

A simple question I am sure but this is my first bit of coding and I cant get it working. How can I create a Simple Javascript button in Salesforce that when clicked will display a pop out window showing a set text for the user to use?

I have been messing around with the below code but it shows in an aleert box formart which is not exactly what I would like? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

<html>

<head>

<script>

function myFunction()

{

alert(" blah blah balh balh bahl blah blah blha blha blhab ");

}

</script>

</head>

<body>

<input type="button" onclick="myFunction()" value="Show alert box" />

</body>

</html>

Hi ,

Try this Object detail page--->create new button(Open new page)--->on this page choose java script at "Content Source"--

> Under formulae write alert(" blah blah balh balh bahl blah blah blha blh" style="display: block;" />

Under formulae write alert(" blah blah balh balh bahl blah blah blha blha blhab ");
