Maybe you are thinking of
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~pasher/maps/where.htm

The JavaScript goes in the HEAD section:

<.SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<.!--
function launch(url){ remote =
open(url,'',config='height=300,width=390,alwaysRaised=1,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,scrollbars=1,resizable=1,top=0,left="+leftPos+"');

}
// -->
<./SCRIPT>

The JavaScript for a "close window" button would go in the HTML for the
particular page.

However, I would not use this script to bring up important links since many
people are reluctant to enable JavaScript.
