Hi,

I have a required to show a screen on the IE window. A popup window needs
to be shown when when the user responds to the form on the window. However,
the popup needs to be bright and the background IE needs to be become dull or
dim.

Is this possible in IE using Javascript or ActiveX?

Regards,
Swamy
 
Hi Swamy,

The usual technique is to use the ShowModalDialog method to show the popup
modally with focus. The background IE window will be disabled and dimmed.
This method is not available on other browsers though, but then again
neither is activeX.
IE7 with tabbed browsing and popup blocking may cause you problems.
Good luck.
Regards.
