Thank you sooooooo much Kenneth Skovhede, you are a genius. I succeeded to implement your idea and it worked perfectly. I sometimes wonder "why didn't I think of that ?" :))

Instead, in the outer most page, include the viewer as an iframe: <html> <body> <iframe src="......ajaxviewer/?....params..." style="... location, size, etc ...."></iframe> <iframe src="your-tool-window.html" style=".... same ..."></iframe> </body> </html> You should now be able to place the second iframe on top of the first one (z-index). There are many JS snippets that allow you to drag an iframe around, so you can just make the iframe look like a window. That way, you can mimic an "always-on-top" window, but it stays within the page, so the browser does not mind.
