It's not possible. The Popup object, available in IE5.5+ (only) is designed EXPLICITLY to prevent that type of functionality. Using the Popup Object http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/om/popup_overview.asp Selective quotes: * A popup object always closes when the user clicks away from it or when another popup object is opened. * The popup object never has focus when it is displayed so processes continue to run in the parent window. * The popup object does not support text boxes of any kind. * No elements inside of the popup object can be selected. * No navigation can occur inside the popup object itself... Note Because the popup object never takes focus, focus related events such as onfocus and onblur are not applicable to the popup object. ... IOW, don't use that method (which is what makes the displayPopupMessage function work) if you want to be able to have significant control over the popup or have it provide any more than marginal functionality.
