	For Internet Explorer 5+, it is possible using IE's showModelessDialog()
method [1]. For Netscape 4.x, there is the setZOptions method of the window
object that can take the value "alwaysRaised" that does what you want [2],
although there are security restrictions on this. I'm not sure whether
Netscape 6 supports this, either.
