In my web-based training piece delivered in IE 6 or 7, the user clicks a button that opens a new IE window displaying a Word document. On top of the Word document, I want an alert message box to appear. Currently, the training piece runs some javascript that opens the new IE window using the showModalDialog method. This method opens an html file in the new window and an iFrame in the html file refers to the Word document. This works fine. But I'm having trouble getting the alert message box to appear on top of the Word document. Currently, the html code is this: <html> <head> <title>Brand Name List </title> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> function MsgBox() { alert ("hello") } </SCRIPT> </head> <body> <iframe src="brand_name_list.doc" width="100%" height="100%" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"> </iframe> <script language="JavaScript"> MsgBox(); </script> </body> </html> With this code, the alert message box appears, first. After closing it, the Word document appears. How can I get the Word document to appear first? Thanks. JBA
