I need to hold a window in front.

Hey, heres what I need to do. I have a program that uses popups to change various aspects of the page, however, when that window is open, I would like it to stay on top, NOT in focus, but on top. So if you click on the back window it gains focus, but the popup remains in front. In Firefox this is accomplished by setting the “dialog” aspect to 1 or true in the window.open. Any ideas in IE.
