Borderless window using JavaScript?

HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My boss wants me to write a JavaScript that will open up a tiny window with two buttons.

The problem is she want one with no window borders. I think it can't be done with JavaScript because JavaScript basically manipulates HTML and thus must be drawn inside of a window.

Am I wrong or what?

Wrong forum. But you folks are wizards and probably know the answer anyway.

Java can create borderless windows. Flash can create what appears to be borderless windows.

JavaScript can create a borderless pop-up in the same window (with the help of CSS, or in otherwords, DHTML)

However an actual new window, created by JavaScript, cannot create a new window without borders.

Does that help?

Thanks Suzanne,

That's what I thought.
Don't think the pop-up window will do it cause it needs interactive buttons. Avoiding flash for this task.

Found a way to simulate it using JS and visible/invisible layers.
