>>We wasted tens of thousands of $ trying to implement a web equivalent to multiple resizeable/moveable/openable/closable forms in the Windows desktop, whose content changes when the master record number changes. Basically the users configured things across 2 displays including other apps like lookup tools, to make it easier and quicker to assess info at a glance and do their jobs as they move from record to record. Easy enough in Windows, but on IE or Firefox, unless you deployed a huge browser instance spanning both screens - meaning child windows no longer are in windows desktop and the 3rd party apps now are covered- then communicating between the windows was a big issue that programmers said was deliberately and increasingly blocked by MS and Mozilla to thwart hack attempts. They found a way to do it in IE, but the consensus was that MS could close this at any moment via Windows Update, leaving customers (and us) with a useless irreparable product. So if somebody has a solution for that on the web, there's still budget!

>All the best,
Thierry,
very sorry, your video in small size is to vague to read anything, I only see some screens come and go. When I enlarge to fullscreen it gets a little bit better, the right side bar is still very blur and I have to guess what you are doing.
Don't you have a zip-file which we can run on our pc?
Cheers,
Koen
