You're quite welcome, Mike. I probably should have mentioned another, more
difficult alternative, which is to design a popup that does whatever you
need. It is more difficult because, for example, many browsers don't allow
popups. This can be overcome, however, by the use of an
absolutely-positioned div with a zIndex higher than the rest of the page.
Making it look like a dialog box is somewhat problematic, and unlike a
regular popup, its position is nailed to the position of the window below
it. It also requires a good bit of DHTML (JavaScript/HTML/CSS) programming
to use it, but if you design it well, it can be re-used in the same (and
other) web applications. The greatest difficulty with this sort of solution
is making it look and behave more or less the same in all browsers. But it
can certainly be done.
