oh man, just when I was gonna lose it! for some reason I had updateComplete in the popup window header setFocus to the first button in the popup. so, i guess when tell the popup to remove itself its technically 'updating' soooooooooo it goes and tries to set focus to a button that isnt there and that is why I had the problem. Go figure. thanks for the assist Sherif!
