I forgot to mention this variation on my machine also solves the problem you
mention of the parent page poping up over your popup window.
Dont forget there is a javascript bug (or design feature) which when trying
to open up a popup window that is already open, nothing seems to happen(ie
the popup doesnt get focus and can remain hidden behind the parent window)
you gotta love programming on the web some days ;)

Wow, well I tested your problem and receieved a variation of the problem you
described.
I used the following code to get around the Page reloading issue:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function openWindow(url, name, rs, w, h)
{
var resize = "";
if (rs) {resize = "resizable,";}
popupWin = window.open(url, name, 'scrollbars,menubar,' + resize +
'width=' + w + ',height=' + h);
}
// -->
</script>
<BODY>
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="openWindow('hello.htm', 'test', true, 200,
50) ">ack</a>
...........
Having another page reference within the href parameter seems to be enough
to cause the window to reload. I am at a loss to explain this behavior. For
a solution you can use the onclick event to bypass the issue. Also note You
must supply href with some parameter to initiate the link behavior of the
anchor tag, so you can use the ="javascript:;" as a dummy value.
It is interesting to watch tomcat reload the parent page. definately not
what i would expect.
