popup window
A PopupWindow is a InterfaceWindow that appears in addition to the window with which a user is interacting. A popup window traditionally appears partially covering the previously active window, although some are place below the active window and are not visible until the active window no longer covers that area. A popup window may be used to provide information (including advertising) to the user or may be an interaction window.
