I doubt highly that his is possible, when you click in another window that window will be ontop, browsing the other window will put that window ontop..

If it is possible I am curious about howto myself (but I still highly doubt this is possible)

Hi Zoe...

there are at least two ways of staying on-top (maintaining focus)...

one way "keeps" the focus (Modal... and probably not exactly what you are looking for):
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/showmodaldialog.asp

... and the other way "shares" the focus (Modeless... always on-top)... which is probably exactly what you are looking for:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/showmodelessdialog.asp

just be warned...
IE6 has shown to treat ModalDialogs differently than previous versions of IE.
It's not always a negative though... it just depends on how much functionality you program into the Modal/ModelessDialog.

Let me know if this helps....
;) k

okay Zoe...

try this and see how it works.
it should work in IE and Netscape (current at least)... although Opera seems to to create a new and seperate window for it (which is not what you want).

and just so you know...
i didn't write the original code for this...
i just modify it for my own needs.
maybe someone can tweak, clean, fix, add, enhance, etc to it??? :) )

okay...
give it a go and let me know...
;) k
