controlling windows

[Isabel Danforth]

In the development of our new web page, I am popping up a small window 
which will have some 'help' information on it when our patrons select a 
remote database.  This also gives me something to count in our statistics, 
generated by Analog.  You can see this in action if you select an item on
	http://russelllibrary.org/online.htm

We use Dynix for our ILS and I am trying the same idea to give our patrons 
remote access to their patron information.  They have to go to a Java based 
application and then select patron information from a list of items. My 
problem is that the page with the Java puts itself on top of my small 
window.  Is there a simple way to have my window come back on top - until 
the patron closes it?  You can see this at:
	http://russelllibrary.org/    and then select patron information under 
Access Services.

The code that I use to produce the small window is wrapped up with the link:

<a href="http://webpac.lioninc.org/webpacj/russell.html"
onClick="m = window.open('countpatron.htm','','width=300,height=300'); 
return true;"><font size="-1">Patron Information</font></a>

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
