HTML: ALWAYS ON TOP BROWSER WINDOW

[happyslappy]

How can i open a netscape navigator window which always stays on top of all other even when i activate another aplication window?

You need to use a signed script of some sort. jared@aauser.com

what is a signed scriipt? i'm pretty new to programming. Do you have a script i can use?

No, its a security restriction. You can create always on top of the window that opened it, but not place them on top of other applications (other than the browser) jared@aauser.com

OK, that's fine, can you tell me how i can do that please? I would really appreiciate it.

Ok. this method of the window object only works in IE(i think 4+):

window.showModalDialog("somepage.htm&quot

it does not behave like a normal window, instead like an alert box (i.e. it stops the current thread of execution until it is closed).
