The current classhelp window uses a frame structure in a new window. Frames are deprecated. Consider using the dialog element as demoed in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8HjQETqrOM as a non-modal with the ability to drag it to allow access to the underlying page. Opening in a new window with a reference to the original window (so the classhelp can change the field on the original form) is also acceptable. Opening in a new window could be even better as the user can choose to open the new window in a new tab if they want.
