Align a popup window excatly by the parent link
Thanks,
there is a little problem with window.createPopup, as it is MS non-standard
method. I should create the popup in some more standards-compatible way.
I'll try out the microbians.com chromeless window. My problem is actually
rooted from the fact, that IE renders the windowed controls (listbox,
dropdown) over any DHTML popup, therefore I can not place my custom pop-up
controls above these form elements avoiding obscuring. The ony way out I see
is opening a chromeless window instead.
See the link below to understand my problem:
