little help on window.open

[jebo100]

hi all,

i have a button which opens a new window with a new defined size using window.open

how do i make this new window always on top?
or make the window behind it something like inactive that will not response to mouse click until i close this new window.

i have been trying to use modal=yes but will no work.

can somebody give me a tip on what command or functions im going to use?

thanks!!!

In IE you can use [tt]showModalDialog[/tt] but that is IE only.

You could put a large [tt]div[/tt] object over the entire parent window with sufficiently high z-index to prevent anything else on the page acting upon your mouse clicks until the child window is closed.

What dwarfthrower said is correct. I just happen to be working on something like this so here is the css i am using for my div. The div basically overlays my entire page.

#updateProgressDiv 
{
    display:none;
    height:expression(document.body.clientHeight); 
    width:expression(document.body.clientWidth); 
    min-height:99%;
    height: 100%;
    width:100%;
    position:absolute;
    vertical-align:middle;
    z-index:24;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    background: #ddd;
    width: 100%;
    text-align:center;
    opacity: .6; 
    filter: alpha(opacity=60); 
    -moz-opacity: .6;
}

I use javascript to toggle the display. Also the the div only opens to the view height, not the scroll height. So say your page has a scroll bar you will to expand the div using viewheight + scroll height and apply that height to your div height. I hope that made sense. Oh and how far can you throw a dwarf?
