Details

(Whiteboard: [xul1.0-layout-popup])

As per http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xul/layout.html, section 2.4, the floating palette windows need to be checked in.
Whiteboard: [xul1.0-layout-popup]
Blocks: 70753
Summary: Implement popup type="floater" → Implement <floatingwindow>
On a (semi-) related note, there was talk a while ago of a <dialog> element. Is this still on the agenda for XUL1.0?
Close, but no cigar.

This was targetted at 1.2alpha... weren't there event-handling issues with floating windows? What is the status of this?
and why OS: windows 2000?
What happened to this bug? As far as I can tell there is no means for creating a floating box/window within a XUL app (specifically the browser's content area). I can create an HTML:DIV element but it will only work in the browser content area and is subject to the current page's CSS and event handling. 2 questions: 1 - When, if at all, will the bug be addressed? 2 - Is there a workaround to achieve similar functionality? Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! -Chad
Is there any effort being made to make <floatingwindow> work? If not, can someone state what needs to be done to make it work?
