Popup to foreground

Hello,

How can I bring a popup Window to the foreground ?
I am using Internet Explorer. When I press the "Help" buttonm the little IE icon at the bottom, becomes highlighted. The popup appears in the background.

Also, I noticed that when I close the popup, the window with the Help button vanishes. I have to click the screen for it to re-appear.

Any idea what is happening ?

Please provide screen shots and code. I for now have no idea of what you mean by little IE icon or what you mean by pressing help

function closeHelpWindow() {
    if (helpWindow != null && !helpWindow.closed) {
          self.close();
        helpWindow.close();
        parent.focus(this);
    }
}
Great. That at least gives a hint of what "help" was
