Welcome to TSDN.

The best cross-browser solution is to use DHTML which would not allow access to the rest of the page.

If you're using a popup, you can simulate this by adding an event handler in the parent window which checks if the popup window is still open. If it is, send the focus back to the popup window. Not perfect, but better than just giving focus to the popup onblur (that would be very annoying).
