hi ...

ok ... you want the popup-window there ... do you have something done? the idea is to retrieve the screen-size of the users sreen, then use it to open the window at the desired position ... when you have tried something ... post your try and ask specific questions in case you have some ... then we may help you with those problems ...

kind regards

Make a big box and float it right. I'm not seeing what about this you couldn't have done.

What have you tried?

i don't know yahoomessenger or gtalk ... but i think the request is to open a small popup-window that notifies the user when a message is incoming or a buddy-list-member logs in ... like all common messengers do ... a small popup in the right bottom corner of the screen (thunderbird uses this too when notifying that new messages have arrived) ... that is outside of the 'messenger-application-window' ... so as far as i would see and assuming im right with the above understatement of the request ... there is no other possibility as to open a new window at the desired position? ...

kind regards

Oh. I've never used them before. I thought he was thinking more in terms of web apps than desktop.

[gits]

... yes he does ... and i think he wants it to look like an desktop-app ... thats the general goal of a lot of todays webapps that use ajax etc. ...

kind regards ...

Threads merged. Please do not double post.

Changed thread title too to something more meaningful.

Very true. Unfortunately, that means that sometimes some people want to do the impossible as far as the browser is concerned.

Retrieve the screen size using the Screen object. I'm not sure how many properties are supported by all browsers, but you probably only need availHeight and availWidth.

You need to make a start on it first. Once you get stuck, post here again with your problem.

One other possibility (and a preferred one, IMO), is to display the popup within the browser using DHTML. You could even have it moving up from the bottom until all of it can be seen. This way you have more control over it.

I understand what you need. But usually people post some piece of code and ask for help with certain parts that arent working properly.

Once you have your element ready you will need to do something like

pageBody = document.getEle mentsByTagName( "body")[0]
yourElementHere .style.left = pageBody.client Width - this.holder.off setWidth + "px"

This way you will place your element in the right side!
You can do almost the same to put it in the bottom!

Good luck
