I have used window.open() to open a new window and I would like that window to stay on top until the user clicks an ok button. Before the user can click the ok button, I need to gather some information via a text box on the page. I have read numerous posts that say to put onblur=window.focus() in the <BODY> tag to keep the window on top. This works fine as long as there are no text boxes, radio buttons, etc. in the window. If I use onblur=window.focus() the user cannot click inside the textbox, hence I cannot get the information that I need. Does anyone have a solution for this problem that doesn't use .showModalDialog()?

Well try the following. Even though i use the onBlur in the body i still get the focus on the text boxes. Try it and let me know if it was helpful
<body onBlur="blurred()">
<script>
var timer = '';
function blurred() {
timer = setTimeout('self.focus()',1);
}
function focused() {
if (timer != '')
clearTimeout(timer);
}
</script>
;-)
<body onBlur="blurred()">
<script>
var timer = '';
function blurred() {
timer = setTimeout('self.focus()',1);
}
function focused() {
if (timer != '')
clearTimeout(timer);
}
</script>
;-)
