get layering order of windows

[katherinel]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to capture the order in which the windows I've opened using window.open are layered on top of each other. For example, if I open three windows, starting with the first on the bottom and the third on top, but I then focus on the second window, bringing it to the top, is there a way to capture the new window order (2 on top, then 3, then 1)? I know that window.top can give me the first one, but from there, without closing it, is there a way to tell what the next one underneath it is?

Thanks in advance,
Katherine

what if the windows are not stacked? from the application point-of-view only the state (active window or not) matters.
