I am trying to implement a framed window, which will always be on top of
the other windows of an application.

I can use toFront() and while that works well under IE, under Netscape
it means that the Frame which calls toFront() not only goes to the front
but also grabs the focus (which I want retained in another Frame,
underneath the floating window). Getting the submerged window to call
requestFocus, pops it up to the top again.

Am I missing something obvious? Any ideas/ pointers gratefully recevied.

Robin
