If the page you are navigating to overlaps the pop-up page then it will cover pop-up page when it is the active page. The pop-up page is still there but in the background. One solution, if possible, is to split up the page that is covering up the pop-up page into into a couple or more pages. With this method you will have to display all of the parts of the main screen with the form starts. NOTE: The dashes represent page edges and not borders. With this method you can navigate to page 1 and 3 without 3 disappearing.
