Onderwerp: keeping a js pop-up window up front


hello all,

i'm working on a simple page that has multiple photo and info links on it.
If a user clicks on one of the links, the photo or info opens up in a small
javascript window. On the pop-up window, the user has the choice of either
closing the window, or being able to go to either the corresponding photo,
or info page (depending on which pop-up window the user is currently in).
Does that make sense?

Anyways, this all seems to work perfect. My problem is, is that if the user
doesn't close the window, but simply returns to the main page and clicks on
a different photo or info link, the pop-up window has now lost focus, and is
hidden behind my main window. It's changing to the appropriate photo/info
page, but the user might not know that because it's hidden.

SOOO...is there a way to make that pop-up window come forward without having
to open a completely new pop-up windows each time?

Again, does this question even make sense??

any advice/suggestions greatly appreciated!

tia,

-Roger Harness
