<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone considered launching a new window?
It will float over frames, (and can contain new ones if need be), and the layer
control can put it anywhere in the stack that you need it. Yes, it can be
superseded by other layers (even pop-ups can be "invisibled"), but as long as
focus is locked on it while its function remains current, and it is destroyed
when that function no longer applies, you basicly have a super-delux
pop-up. All the windows/frames can communicate with the elements of all
the others (even though the DOM tree can be pretty baroque), so there's no
problem in exchanging data between them.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure I understand why this approach wasn't
considered.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>[By "pop-up" I am assuming we are talking about the
peculiar IE construct, and not just another slave window -- the same solution I
am pushing].</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Dan,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have had to find a solution to this too (this
week in fact). Unfortunately I found nothing apart from the popup object
(i.e. document.createPopup()) that would float over frames. I didn't
want to use the popup object either, but with a fair bit of experimentation I
have found it to be very useful, and fits my application perfectly (also
IE6/Win intranet app).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you want any hints with using the popup object
then don't be afraid to ask :)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Hi!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I work with IE6 (an intranet applicaiton). I
need an object that can float over frames, like a popup object (but not this
object). For example, I have an HTML page with frames and I need an object
that will stay visible at a certain position (for example, exactly in the
middle of the page, no metter that at this area is splitted by frames). Do
you know if such object exists in IE? If yes, what is it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
