Pop up window needs centering on screen

Question

I have this table down the side of this form I'm working on that has hyperlink buttons. The button are for FAQ. What I'm trying to do is when the hyperlink button is clicked I want a small text box, empty browser, whatever may be the simplest approach. I have the page launching with my text in it but it opens up on the left hand corner of my screen.

Here's what I have for code:

<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkBttnPsswrdReset" runat="server" OnClientClick="openPopUp()">Password Reset Info</asp:LinkButton><br />

<%--function to open pop up window for password reset hyperlink button --%>
<script type="text/javascript">
    function openPopUp() {
        myWindow = window.open('', '', 'width=250,height=250')
        myWindow.document.write("<p>Please contact the operator to reset yopur password after IT department business hours</p>")
        myWindow
        myWindow.focus()
    }
</script>

I would recommend you something like AlertifyJs, which is much nicer in every aspect, than a nasty Popup.
