Highslide: how to make the gallery work directly in the page, not in a popup or modal window?

Question

I'm struggling to set up a highslide gallery to work like the one here: http://www.roadrash.no/hs-support/gallery-in-page+caption-above-thumbstrip.html

However, there's a problem that the example on the page above is a popup window that is placed above everything else in a page.

I want to place the gallery inside a page , without any z-indices, absolute positions etc, so that my highslide gallery would look like here: http://www.theinsider.ua/multimedia/543ce96463688/#1

Anyway, right now it seems like there's no way to do this with highslide. Am I mistaken?

This is what's known as an "in-page gallery." See the barebones example:

The example from RoadRash's site is also an in-page gallery. It is not a popup that floats above everything else on the page. Here's an example from RoadRash's site that has three in-page galleries on a page of ordinary HTML. There are no popups, and no modal windows:

A regular Highslide JS popup looks like this:
