You're going to have to go with javascript to popup a window.  Take a look
at the theatre site I maintain at www.sunnyvaleplayers.org.  The first
time you go there (in fact, the first three times) it will pop up a
"please join us" box.  There's no reason that couldn't be a form instead
of a test box with a link.

Javascript will also allow you to name the window so you can update just
that window when you need to.
