I imagine you mean a "javaSCRIPT" popup. (Not Java. Not being nitpicky --
Java and JavaScript are entirely different from one another, and any web
developer, even an amateur one, ought to know that!)
In any case, you might want to consider an AJAX-y/DHTML-y style popup
whereby a previously hidden <DIV> is brought to the forefront in an
onClick event. You will need a "Close me" link+event to close that, but
that type of "popup" is typically not blocked by popup blockers, and does
not open a real window, so does not affect the current state of the form,
or the forward/back buttons.
This really has nothing whatsoever to do with PHP, of course. Try a
Javascript or general web design/development group for more insight.
Mostly, though, I expect to see responses along the lines of "don't use
popups". This case, though, IMO, is a good candidate for a popup.
