how to make popup windows always on top?

Question

I want to have a javascript/jQuery popup window (child page) that is always in front of the parent page, something like facebook's current picture viewing feature.

it would be closed by the user clicking on the close button.

I have tried as below:

mywindow  = window.open ("DownloadForm.aspx", "mywindow","location=1,status=1,scrollbars=1, width=350,height=150");
mywindow.moveTo(350, 350);

this code successfully opened a child page in front of the parent page, but there is jQuery code ( $(#test).click() ) on the parent page which causes the parent page to always be in front.

I tried putting the window.open() code after $(#test).click(), but it didn't solve the problem.

The $(#test).click() is necessary, therefore I need to have a workaround.

I appreciate any help, thank you in advance.

Answer 1

myWindow.focus()

Many modern browsers prevent this from working, but it's the only way.
