Ok, I'm not too good at explaining stuff, so I'll try to break it down as simple as I can.
I wish to have a popup that is persistent and always ontop of everything else. This "overlay" popup (as in the example I gave) can be moved about and repositioned. The user can drag this popup to one side, and continue working on other stuff under it. The user may then trigger other things that popup (in the example given, this was a picture, with a fader behind it). The original overlay popup must say ontop of everything else, including the new popup under it. (in the example, this would be the image and fadder). To give the real use of what I'm trying to do; I am currently developing a sort of adventure game engine, in which the player progress's by solving puzzles. Some of these puzzles might rely on comparing images, text and other information. In this specific case, it must be possible for the user to overlay this popup ontop of other information they can pull up. So, for example, one puzzle might involve aligning a PNG with "holes" over a bit of existing text to get a secret message showing though the holes. Or comparing a two figureprints to see if they match. (the half/half method). Or... Basically a lot of puzzles might require comparing some sort of reference image (the popup that stays ontop and is dragable) against existing inventory items that the user can select. I hope this is clear. In the example code the dragable box I want to stay ontop even after the other button is pressed. (which I assumed would meant reattaching it...only that doesn't work) Thomas -- ps. Thanks for the insite into the origins of "hiccups". I apologies for my bad spelling, especially in my code. I can assure you, however, I at least never believed McDonalds was a restaurant. 2008/9/11 Ian Bambury <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Just to save me an amount of investigation: > > You want a normal page, with a popup over it covering the whole screen, and > another small popup over that.
