I want the window which can work same as JDesktopPane, so whenever i open child window it should be contained by parent window only and there should be single open window in taskbar. so is there any alternate to use JdesktopPane in javafx.

There is no equivalent of JDesktopPane in JavaFX 2.2.

There are some 3rd party controls which provide some similar functionality (see also DromblerFX).

JavaFX can be embedded in Swing applications, so you could create a Swing application making use of JDesktopPane, and use JFXPanels for the pane content so you are still building and rendering the majority of your UI in JavaFX, just using a swing wrapper for the internal pane management. Java 8 also includes a SwingNode allowing the vice-versa situation of a JavaFX app with Swing components (like JDesktopPane) embedded in it.

Shalini, fitting a JavaFX app to a browser window is a different question, please ask it in a new thread.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
