    Default form popups - how2 make open on top?

    I'm using forms to open up info popup windows. That might not be the best way to do it and would ask for some feedback on that. Would javascript be better? I wanted to avoid it so that search engines would index the pages but I realize they won't do that with the form anyway. My ideal would be to have simple html open a small window as a new window (target="_blank") but I haven't been able to find that in straight html.

    The second part of my question is - if I stick with my current method the code below works fine for the first window. Subsequent clicks opening the form won't bring it to the top. I have nine different links similar to the code below, each opening a different message but they will all open in the old popup window and they won't rise to the top and display over the current window? I have tried target = self, parent, blank, and top. Only the very first of the ones clicked will open on top.

    <FORM name="1" target="_self"><INPUT align="center" type="button" value="300 Free Links" onClick="window.open('http://mysite.com/web_promotion/stage2b.php/<?echo $affiliate_num;?>/<?echo $homepage_title;?>/','mywindow','about:blank','width=380,height=380,t oolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,men ubar=no,scrollbars=yes,copyhistory=no,resizable=ye s')">
    </FORM>

    How can I get this form to open a new window? Can I get this form to reopen on top of the current page? Thanks

    Check your browser settings. You might have something selected , i.e. open windows this way or open tabs that way.. Other than that, i would use javascript but it really doesnt matter.
