Force closure of a window

How can I prevent a window from being minimized?

I created a small window for a password routine which displays in the center of the screen, overlapping the initial window. My consternation is if the user clicks anywhere off the display, the window is minimized to an icon at the bottom of the browser window. I would prefer that the only way to close this small window is either a "close.window" option, or by clicking the X at the top of the window.

I already checked keywords in several combinations and could not find any past postings and solutions.

I auto-close the window in 30 seconds, so if they minimize, it'll close itself (which reloads the main window)...

<script>
var timeLeft = 31 //seconds
//XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
var closed = false;
function closeWin(message){
if (! closed){
window.resizeTo(20,20)
window.opener.focus()
if (message != &quot;&quot;){
window.opener.alert (message)
}

locName = window.opener.location.toString()
quesFound = locName.indexOf(&quot;?&quot;)
if (quesFound== -1){
locName = locName + &quot;?cbr=<%=cbr%>&quot;
}
else{
cbrFound = locName.indexOf(&quot;cbr&quot;)
if (cbrFound < locName.length - 13){
locName += &quot;<%=cbr%>&quot;
}
}
window.opener.location = locName
closed = true
self.close()
}
}
//XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
function startTimer(){
timeLeft --
if (timeLeft < 0) {
closeWin(&quot;&quot;)
}
minsLeft = Math.floor(timeLeft / 60)
secsLeft = timeLeft - (minsLeft * 60)
if (secsLeft < 10){
secsLeft = &quot;0&quot; + secsLeft
}
document.pageForm.timer.value = minsLeft + &quot;:&quot; + secsLeft
timerID = setTimeout(&quot;startTimer()&quot;,1000)
}
