If I use "WindowName.focus();" to make sure that a pop-up remains on top of the parent window, can I keep the pop up visible on top, but have the parent window active? I want the pop up to display info that is needed for data entry, so want the pop-up to be visible, but the user able to do data entry onto the page from which the pop-up came.
Thanks for any info.

You are not going to be able to do it, but you can use a layer on the page.
You could resize the parent and the child so they both can fit side by side too.

Thank you very much for your reply. Could you elaborate on what you mean by "use a layer" ? Is that something differant than a pop-up window? Do you have a code example?
Thanks,
Kim

layer is DHTML, basically you can show and hide them. If you have all of these pop up pages code, I can show you a few things and probably help you code it.
the basic idea is here, but i can help you out more in the future
