Popup window always on top

In my web application, there is a button that opens a score chart. The chart is opened as a new window, so that the user can put it adjacent to the main window:

javascript:window.open('chart',..., 'left=50,top=50,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,directories=no,dependent=yes,menubar=no, width=400,height=600,scrollbars=yes')

However, when the user makes his main window full-screen, and then opens the score chart, and then clicks the main window – the score chart “disappears” under the main window.

How can I make the score chart stay always at the top (until the user closes it, of course)?

Other ideas to achieve the same goal will also be welcome…

Answer 1

You can use jquery dialog to open the window as a “window” inside your main window that way the main window and the score chart are the same..

var $div = $("<div/>");
$("#OpenScoreChartButton").click(function() {
    $div.load('chart.aspx?... ', function() {
       $div.dialog(); 
    });
});
