Possibly send back a page which opens up the pop-up, then forces the current page
back using history.go(-1)
Like this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT Language="Javascript">
function popBack(url) {
popup = window.open(url, "popupWindow",
"scrollbars=yes,width=250,height=400,menubar=yes");
history.go(-1);
popup.focus();
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="popBack('popup.html')">
Error Page
</BODY>
</HTML>
