In that case, please take note that most of the browsers, for instance
Mozilla and IE (don't know for Opera) a div cannot be displayed on top of a
iframe or frame element. This is because iframes or frames are system
windows and div areas inside a window. The solution is then to use iframes
(child of the document's page) to display pop up or simply to have a popup
window object as in IE. Don't neglect the fact that I may have a layout
including an iframe and I want the pop up window to be displayable on top of
it. The problem is not that trivial....

Gee that's a tough problem Ian, I am still thinking about it....
