[Javascript] changing graphics in new window

[Håkan Magnusson]

Maybe I misunderstood the question. :)

In my mind, Donna have two browser windows, and he wants the child to be 
kind of modal, always above the parent window, while still being able to 
click on links/images in the parent window.

Donna?

Regards,
H
