I was able to resolve this by setting WindowInteractiveMode to shadow, and futher speed things up by disabling animations in WebDesktopManager.

Prior to this change, I experienced the above behavior problems in ALL browsers except IE.

Thank you

I'm not referring to a specific support article.  I'm referring to the WebCombo in the upper right hand corner of

http://support.intersoftpt.com/  to the right of "Look In"

Likewise, I'm curious how the image was added next to eht WebCombo Row Text

Just to help the community, here is the JavaScript addWnidow function which resides on the actual .aspx with WebDesktopManager1

    function addWindow(name, text, imageURL, contentURL, width, height, allowMin, allowMax, allowClose)
    {
        var dm = ISGetObject("WebDesktopManager1");
        var wnd = dm.GetWindow(name);
        if (wnd == null)
        {
            wnd = new WebDesktopWindow();
            wnd.Text = text;
            wnd.Name = name;
            wnd.ControlBoxImage = "is_webdesktop-16.gif";
            wnd.ContentURL = contentURL;
            wnd.ContentMode = "UseIFrame";
            wnd.AllowMinimize = allowMin;
            wnd.AllowMaximize = allowMax;
            wnd.AllowClose = allowClose;
            
            dm.Windows.Add(wnd);
            wnd.Show();
            wnd.ResizeTo(width, height);
            wnd.MoveToCenterDesktop();
        }
        else
        {
            wnd.Activate();
            wnd.Show();
        }
    
    }
    

As expressed above, since I have various WebPanes and nested WebTabs in various pages, I was having problems accessing the WebDesktopManager via JavaScript since the number of "parents" varies depending on how many nested IFrames I have.

As a work around, I've created a class named LinkManager which automatically will create the links for me, and has a parameter to specify the "parentDepth".

While this works, it would be nicer if there was a way to access WebDesktopManager on child pages without using "parent".  Please let me know if this is possible.

Is it a bad practice to have multiple nested IFrames.  I realize each one is a seperate web page that needs loaded and thus is more of a load on the server -- but it's my understanding this is a much cleaner way to organize WebPane's and WebTabs as opposed to InLineContent, correct?

                return "Yes";
            return "No";
        }

Thank you.  I will try this.  Looks to be just what I was looking for.
