modeless window
Last modified: Monday, June 27, 2005
Similar to a modal window, a modeless window is
a feature that was first introduced in Internet Explorer 5. It launches a
secondary (child) window that stays active on the user's screen until dismissed.
Modeless windows can be minimized or hidden behind other windows. Unlike a modal
window, a modeless window will allow the user to continue working with the
application while the modeless window is open.
