About how to display a layer above a frame ?!

[exolon]

Yes is it possible to display a layer above an other frame than the one
the layer come from ?!?

thanks

I never asked myself this question so maybe I am wrong, yet since every
layer is either a dependances of the window or of the document object (I
just analyzed a few crazy behaviours with image names that at times are
handled as document collections other times as window collections, but this
is another story), my first guesswork would be: no, it is not possible.
Because layers belong to the _local_ hierarchy of the local window.
Yet, you can address from a frame (window) layers residing in another frame.
You just cannot make them cross them.
But maybe other readers have a different answer for as I said I never faced
this question before.

No, layers cannot cross frame borders since every frame is a Window object.

In IE you can use a popup. Otherwise, no.
