Environment: We have Lawson, a HR solution that runs through our intranet via a browser.
Task: I need to add instructions to various pages.
Example: "pay raise" page shows text about our policies beneath the "submit button".
Problem: Lawson doesn't let us modify their code, else it invalidates the support agreement.
Proposed Workaround: In what language could I accomplish the following, from the client side (trying to bypass the Lawson development group)?
1. User clicks bonus, opening the bonus form.
2. Transparent dialog box appears beneath the submit button. It looks like it's part of the bonus form page, but it's actually floating over the page.
3. User reads dialog box, enters info into form
4. User clicks submit
5. Dialog box automatically closes when page changes.
6. Different dialog boxes automatically appear and disappear for their corresponding form page, where it's Leave of Absense, Supervisor Change, etc.
I tried iFrames, but the app doesn't work in iFrames.
