INSTRUCTIONS:

There are several steps to this, but all the scripts are 
short and easy.

============================================================

Step 1.
Launching the Popup...

You can launch the popup any way you wish; however, it's best
to use the script below in the <head> ... <head>
of the page.  Set the various window.open parameters for the
features, size, position, etc., that you need.  Set theUrl
to that of the popup page. Take care to get the entire line
reWin=window.open(...) on a single line.

// set the url of the page to open in the popup window
theUrl="thePopupPage.html"

function doThePopUp(){
reWin=window.open(theUrl,'hell','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=200,height=300,top=100,left=100')
}
</script>

Launch the popup like this:

<a href="javascript:doThePopUp()">Open Popup</a>

============================================================

Step 2.
Placing the Script in the Popup Window...

Put this script in the <head> ... <head> of the popup page.
Set the various window.open parameters for the features,
size, position, etc., that you need.  Set theUrl to that of
the popup page. Take care to get the reWin=window.open(...)
on a single line.

theUrl = 'thePopupPage.html'
lockU = 1
function doAgain(){
if (lockU == 1){
reWin=window.open(theUrl,'','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=200,height=300,top=100,left=100')
}
}
</script>

============================================================

Step 3.

Add the following onunload function call to the &body> tag in
the popup page, as shown:

============================================================

Step 4. IMPORTANT

your visitor to close the window!
