oh, it's reliable, but maybe not at giving focus to the popup window, which
is what you're trying to do...

i am not a javascript expert, but isn't it supposed to be

    <body onLoad="self.focus()">

with the () parentheses?

if that doesn't work, you can try forcing focus from the main window by
altering the link as follows

      <a href="mypage.htm"  target="_blank"
           onClick="popUp('mypage.htm'
            , 'PopUpWindow','width=520,height=640');
        PopUpWindow.focus(); return false; ">link</a>

if that don't work either, i have run out of ideas and would love to see
the page for myself...
