Hey,
By pop up do you mean a javascript popup with like a message?
Do you mean frames?
And iframes are really easy, i can give you te code that I use, are you on expage or angelfire???
You should check your style sheet and make sure that nothing important got deleted when you changed it like a "}".

For an iframe use this code:
<div id="iframe" style="position:absolute; left: Zpx; top:Zpx; width:?px; height:?px; z-index:1">
<iframe src="PAGE THAT OPENS UP" name="NAME OF IFRAME (TARGET LINKS TO THIS NAME)" allowtransparency="true" width=Z height=Z frameborder=0 scrolling=yes></iframe>
</div>

Change the capital Z's to the numbers you want. The first will be how far from the left it is, the second how far from the top. And the width and height are the width and height of your iframe.

I hope that helps your iframe problem at least! Good luck!!
