is it possible to have a box come up kind of like cromless windows, but have it be a defined shape that you want, such as a circle or somthing like that? kind of like how winamp has the different skins, and some of them can be different shaps other than just boxes. i'm just hoping it is and that it's been done before so i don't have to make an attempt to code it...-

I'm not so hot on code...better on design. :D

You could design it so it appeared that a triangular window had popped up. You'd have to make the chromeless window completely match the background of your page and appear somewhere where there wasn't any text. For example...your page has a big blank space in the middle of it surrounded by text links on both sides. Your user clicks on a link and a chromeless window pops up there with an image of a triangle or any geometry you wish along with text and images filling in the shape.

Don't forget to allow them to close the chromeless pop-up. :cool:

...or combine the VML code with the same background window idea for just a oval or rectangle. :D
