Thank you to all who answered.  I took your advice and got rid of the 
pop-up window.  Registration now has its own page.

Just for future reference, however, I'd still like to figure out how to 
make that work.  I tried adding the .focus() method but it made it so that 
you couldn't type anything into the text fields when using Internet 
Explorer.  Worked fine in Netscape.

Any further advice on this??
