Hi Ian, > For popup windows I think the best plan is probably to have "fake" popup > windows that are basically just position <div>s (which can be resized, > etc, but are restricted to the content area of the parent Web page).

In that case, please take note that most of the browsers, for instance Mozilla and IE (don't know for Opera) a div cannot be displayed on top of a iframe or frame element. This is because iframes or frames are system windows and div areas inside a window. The solution is then to use iframes (child of the document's page) to display pop up or simply to have a popup window object as in IE. Don't neglect the fact that I may have a layout including an iframe and I want the pop up window to be displayable on top of it. The problem is not that trivial.... > > In fact, on Mac, there is no per-window menu bar, and there is no way that > Web apps will ever have access to the top-level menu bar, so come to think > of it menu bars in general are out. > > How should Web applications provide their feature access points? > > Any suggestions on how to handle this would be welcome. > Gee that's a tough problem Ian, I am still thinking about it....
