I don't rely on "pop-ups" as much as I just "show" a hidden, absolutely positioned <div> where the alert/dialog/comment will show when needed. And yes, this may or may not need JS. For example, you can have a "conditional" (<@IF) on the style="display: none;" else style="display: block;" as needed. If they come back to the page and you pass the variable to trigger the if... It can have a close box (which uses the javascript or returns to the same page passing the varible as 'null' - so the box doesn't show).
I will say that almost nobody turns off Javascript these days, but you can trap for that, too!
