Keep browser window on top

Need to be able to keep window on top

[UnderScore]

I am trying to keep a child window on top, and have been able to do so from someone elses post. My problem is the code that I used keeps the window on top but also keeps it active. I would like for it to stay on top but allow me to still type in the browser window underneath. Basically stay on top. but not be active.

Anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to WebmasterWorld UnderScore,

The only thing I can think of is use window.opener to pass javascript to update the page below. Since the window ontop has focus I don't think you can interact with it unless you are doing it with javascript.

My instincts are telling me that there isn't a simple solution to this. (but lord knows I've been wrong before.)

Why not go with a pop-up div instead of a window? You can even make the div look like a window if you need to. You can position it anywhere in the browser window you want and it can stay on top.

Possible to go that route?
