Hi Everyone,

Has anyone tried to do a floating web view?

I've designed a Webapp which operates in a fairly traditional fashion, but I have had user requests to "float" a separate browser instance which will display the current roster.

Has anyone done anything like this and are there any problems with table security/stability, as this view would have 3 related tables which must be maintained and updated, but must be able to be made to go behind the "main" browser when not needed.

Unfortunately, it would be too difficult to incorporate this view within the main browser window. Besides, there wouldn't be enough room anyway.

The most difficult part, as I see it, is that when a user logs out, it must also close the roster window as well - including closing the main browser window if they don't log out - they do this all the time. Not to mention that I don't even know at this stage how to create a separate browser instance.

Just not sure how to tackle it.
