http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13348 --- Comment #2 from Adam Barth <w3c@adambarth.com> 2011-07-25 20:59:31 UTC --- We've been kicking around some ideas for addressing some of these use cases, but we've been approaching the problem as giving web pages a way to create a "lightbox"-like UI using something that's really a popup window under the covers. The idea being that popup windows are always rendered "on top" and they're not subject to interference by the page that creates them. The limitation is that they're ugly and difficult for users to manage. In some sense, you could address these use cases with a chromeless popup window that was constrained to the parent web page, much like alert dialogs are in recent versions of Firefox. Anyway, we haven't got much past the "hallway discussion" phase, but I think there's some potential for addressing these use cases. Of course, we'd have to do it carefully because these are tricky security issues. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
