I have a popup window that walks users through
a form. As they change focus to the different fields in the form the popup window changes instructions. Everything works great except that when the window first opens it is on top but after that when they move to the next field it
doesn't stay on top and is hidden by the main browser window. Am I doing someting wrong or do I not understand the
alwaysRaised attribute??

TIA

function LoadTip(TipPage)

{

popupWin2 = window.open(TipPage, 'Tips', 'alwaysRaised=yes,width=200,height=250,scrollbars=no');

}
 
'alwaysRaised' and 'alwaysLowered' can only work within signed scripts. So, basically, the window pops up on top but ignores the 'aR' call.

ps. Just in case you were trying to use it in IE, 'aR' and 'aL' only work in NN.

Yes I found this out in searches after posting but
I have yet to find a trick that achieves this effect.

Any ideas or thing to look into?
 
did you try forcing window.focus() on window.blur()?

you may want to experiment with showModalDialog in IE... jared@aauser.com
