hi ratking (love that name)

what's it (not) doing?  not closing the popup?

you need to give the popup, the child window, a name --

   kirby=window.open('whoswho.htm', 'names', config=...)

and then to close it, you don't even need a function, just say

   onMouseOut="kirby.close()"

the title that's on the title bar of the popup will come from the TITLE tag
of the page that is opened in that window, in your case whoswho.htm  -- the
name you code as the second parameter in the open() is something else

overlib is really slick, but might be overkill for your purposes
