Thanks, Matt.

That's closer...it closes the existing popup window, and it stopped throwing
the "Value undefined (result of expression popWin.close) is not an object."
error, but it also doesn't open a new popup, at least without a second
click.

Of course, the site is for a mac-based business, so while some relatively
small percentage of their visitors would see this problem, the vast majority
of the principals would...sigh...

Perhaps I'm taking the wrong tack here, though - would it be better to
attempt to resize the existing window and change it's contents, rather than
closing the current popup and reopening a new one? resizeTo() and
outerWidth()/outerHeight() seem to have their own quirks, as well.
