Javascript popup with database data using PHP not working correctly

Ok, I wanted to have the ability to click a link and get more detail on a person that isn't displayed on my page.  For example their phone and email address.  I was going to use a popup window but then found this really cool popup window on the internet on a site where someone pasted examples for use.

Now here is my problem.  On my page, all of the data changes within the while loop and is displayed correctly.  But my popup window only displays data for the first record.  Any ideas on what is wrong here?  I have a snippet of code below.  I did notice when I viewed the source on the web that the source showed the div data changing and I got different phone numbers and email address and first and last names.  It's just not showing up in the popup window.

I don't know if I should place this in the Javascript section or the PHP so I checked both when I submitted the question.

Javascript:

function fetch_id(id)
{
      if (document.getElementById)
      {
            return document.getElementById(id);
      }
      else if (document.all)
      {
            return document.all[id];
      }
      else if (document.layers)
      {
            return document.layers[id];
      }
      return null;
}

function show_hide(id)
{
      var obj = fetch_id(id);

      if (!obj)
      {
            return false;
      }
      obj.style.display = (obj.style.display == 'block') ? 'none' : 'block';
      return true;
}
