pdf to load in front of windows projector

CtrlZ · 05-17-2002, 01:43 PM

Hi everyone

I desperately want to be able to load pdf documents in front of windows projector. At the moment I have used a simple
on (release) {
getURL("folder/file.pdf", "_blank");
}

But they always load behind the full screen. Can any one tell me how to load these in front?

This is a general problem we've experienced with browsers, they all seem to pop behind. You could try using a HTML frameset file which called the window into focus when it openned using javascript. The top frame could be 0% and do the focus thing. The bottom could be 100% and load in the PDF... Just an idea.

Thanks Jesse, This sounds like it will work but I don't really know any Javascript, are there any tutorials about the code required to do this that you know of?

I know it involves something like: onLoad(document.focus) ... or something similar. Check out a javascript site or Google around for it.
