OnClick? OnClose?....AAARGH!

Hi all,

I know very little (read "nothing") about java, but always use popups to escape browser restrictions. However, im looking for something a little more complex, or at least undocumented in tutorials i have read....here goes,

from a 457X350 popup, i want a link within an image map to open a new popup 800x350, effictively giving the user the impression that the button has opened a sidebar, with the original window on the left, and the "sidebar" on the right.
This i have done no sweat, but the illusion is incomplete as the original popup is still under the new one.

Ive been mucking around with OnClick Close.window, OnClose popURL etc etc, but my coding experience is with perl and not java, and i know its quite strict....so i cant tell what im doing wrong. I dont know if the image map is messing it up either....


any input would be appreciated, as i say, i expect this is quite simple if you understand the syntax.


Thanks in advance
