please help - always on top stuff

[ankurchanga]

Hi,

in making a current site i need to have a browser-window that stays always on top, but here are the requirements:-

1. must always be on top
2. must allow access (i.e. scrolling/typing) to the window beneath it, whilst always staying on top
3. must be able to type into the always on top window and access it as normal
4. must not have a parent/child relationship with the window beneath it, as the window beneath it must be dynamic and can change etc.

I have already tried self.focus etc. and modal stuff doesnt fit the requirements.

Any ideas would be phenomenally appreciated.

yours

You are not going to be able to do it with another window. The only way you can do it is with layers.

Would it work with a layer, in other words, if i had a layer would it stay on top of everything including other applications - and would it allow input into the layer, and allow you to edit the other browsers/apps that are open ?

hope it makes sense

i am lost on this question

thanks again
