Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products provide a graphical user interface for a data processing system wherein a foster window associated with a secondary application program can be removably attached to a primary application window associated with a primary application program, such as a Web browser. The foster window can be automatically repositioned and/or resized in response to repositioning and/or resizing of the primary application window, such that the first and second windows maintain a generally rectangular attached configuration.
