A useful tip but!

If the popup window that has the onBlur="self.focus()" term also has a form with a multiple select box, in Netscape 3 (Win95), the select box is disabled. You can scroll but you cannot select!

A button to close the window does however work.

removing the onBlur from the body tag enables the select box.

A great pity as I want a good way to ensure that pop-up windows are controlled effectively across NS3/4 & IE3/4 - so that for instance if the window creating link is selected again, the window comes to the front (focus is not cross browser). The alternative is is to keep it at the front until closed - but ....
