I don't know if this helps but tried on WinXP it pops up on top

I use one of two

1. In the <head>

<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function popUp(URL) {
     day = new Date();
     id = day.getTime();
     eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 
'toolbar=0,scrollbars=yes,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=yes,width=200,height=100,left=100,top=50');");
}
//-->
</script>
</head>

In the <body>

<body>
<a href="javascript:popUp('whatever.html'); return false;">
</body>

2. for a one link shot

<body>
<a 
href="javascript:window.open('whatever.html','popup',''toolbar=0,scrollbars=yes,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=yes,width=200,height=100,left=100,top= 
0'); return false;">
</body>

Hope this helps
Todd
