lol, my thoughts exactly.

Yes, you can't hope to manipulate window borders as they're handled by the window manager which is beyond the browser software. With some API calls a program can remove borders from its GUI window, but that's not within reach for a web application. Or that's the theory, at least.

On the other hand, there is this script which uses some dark arts to achieve the effect. But it's mostly non-functional now, afaik, with new software versions. In any case, I don't like it, most other users don't like it, and you shouldn't want to do this, you evil, evil person.

The popular method now, as Kyle says, is to fake a window by having a div floating and whizzing around; even one that has a "close"/hide button. There are countless sources for this at dynamicdrive.com

you are not making a popup window...you are making a div layer

think of it as putting syrup on a waffle...its another layer above it, and you can still see the underside, where there isnt syrup

you need to use something like this:

div.window {
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
margin-left: 499px;
margin-top: 25px;
etc....}

your initial guess is wrong. they are using dhtml to hide/move/reveal a div.
