Q222 How can I open a window which will always stay on top of all browser windows?

A simple solution, but one which may not work on all browsers/platforms, is to us the onBlur event handler to regain the focus:

<body onBlur="self.focus()">

To do this correctly, you really need a modal dialogue window, supported in Internet Explorer, but not in Netscape Navigator. Danny Goodman provides a solution for both browsers which is described at: http://developer.netscape.com:80/viewsource/goodman_modal/goodman_modal.html.
