Q1571 How can I prevent a popup window being reloaded if the main page is refreshed or reloaded?

Use the following, which creates the popup window, and reuses any of the same name, and then only loads a page into the popup window if the popup window dows not already contain the page:

<script language="JavaScript"><!--
var WinId = window.open('','newwin');
if (WinId.location && WinId.location.href.indexOf('mypage.html') == -1) WinId.location.href = 'mypage.html';
//--></script>
