Hey guys,

So I have been requested by a client to create a site that uses a "window" inside the browser effect. I have made a prototype at: wsm.dreamstream.info/flash (http://wsm.dreamstream.info/flash)(The first option on all menus execute the same "window")
They also have a Joomla template which I have displayed inside this window with an iframe. This window so far is generated by the YUI Container -> Panel effect. But the obvious problem with the "windows" using an iframe is the once some one navigates inside the iframe then exits, once they go back to the menu it will not be the page that is supposed to be associated with that menu option.

So I say all of that to ask...

Are there better options whether its using a different "window" or another way to display the content versus an iframe.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks

You could fake out the "window" concept by using CSS to create a scrollable div, which would place all your content in one page, rather than an IFRAME. You could also link the "x" to the main page, so you really aren't closing a window, but navigating to the main menu page.
