Help on javascript pop windows

Question

Hi All,
My requirement is like this :
I have Page1, Page2 and Page3.
On loading Page1, i need to show Page2 as popup modal window...which i could do by saying...
OABodyBean bodyBean = (OABodyBean) oapagecontext.getRootWebBean();
String sCSIUrl = "OA.jsp?page=/oracle/apps/dscs/PolicyExceptionDisplay/webui/PolicyExceptionDisplaySummaryPG&retainAM=Y";
//s1 = "/OA_HTML/cabo/jsps/frameRedirect.jsp?redirect=/OA_HTML/" + oapagecontext.getApplicationJSP() + "&page=/oracle/apps/dscs/…../ . <yourPagePG>&retainAM=Y&addBreadCrumb=S";
OAUrl oaurl = new OAUrl(sCSIUrl, "N");
String sCreateUrl = oaurl.createURL(oapagecontext.getRenderingContext());
String sjavaScriptUrl = "javascript:lovw=openWindow(top, '" + sCreateUrl + "', 'lovWindow', {width:750, height:550},true, 'dialog');";
bodyBean.setOnLoad(sjavaScriptUrl);
in Process Request of the Page1.
This is successfully giving me modal popup window Page2.
Now, there are links in this Page2, clicking on which would take to details page....Page3.
When a link is clicked ie in Process Form Request of Page2,
ProcessFormRequest(....)
if("Action".equals(pageContext.getparameter("EVENT_PARAM")
pageContext.setForwardURL("Page3", (byte)0, "", hm, true, "Y", (byte)99);*/
where "Action" is the Fireaction event for the link created on the Page2.
The Page3 opens up (the page Page2 forwards to Page3- not one more new window)taking proper params, but the base page Page1 is getting enabled...ie Page3 is now not a modal window....
I want even the Page3 also to be a modal window....
Can any one throw their thoughts on this.....
Thanks,
Sushma.

You can open the second pop up window, using "_blank" as the target frame property. But you seriously need to redesign your UI, its never a good design to show user more than 1 pop up windows!
