Hello guys... I have a question..
I have a multi-user game application. On the game page it refreshes when it is the opponents turn and stops refreshing during your turn. I have decided to add a shout box to the game page, so that the players can talk to each other without leaving the game screen.

However, due to the auto-refresh of the game, the shout box is pretty much useless.

What I have decided then, is to make the shout box come up in a pop up window when a link is clicked in the game page.

I was wondering if there is a way I can make the pop up window stay ONTOP of the game page, instead of going behind it when they click on the board for their turn.

I was hoping I could do this easily, but I can't figure it out.

Any help?

Not really, no. Much as it galls me, I'm going to suggest frames as a passable solution here.

GAHHHH... you know what... nevermind! I hate frames as much as you do I think.

It wasn't really that big a deal, just a neat feature I though of. I got the idea when I did a ctrl+f to search for something in my script, and I saw that the search box stayed on top even when I went to the script page and scrolled around and whatnot...

I thought "HEY! That would be cool for the shout box on my game!"

No biggie, they can deal with it! LOL

Thanks anyway Twey!
