HeldUp:The easiest way to stop windows from disappearing behind other programs.

Here's a neat little program if you are coding a webpage and need to look at the results of your work. It called Held-Up. Now you don't have to switch back and forth between windows. Just use the program and you can have two windows on the same screen.

According to John Macintyre there are other benefits to the program:
"Examples of where HeldUp might be useful

Keep a calculator program on top, while preparing an invoice.

Keep the Windows CharMap utility on top, while writing a foreign language document.

Hold up Notepad to make notes while you browse the internet or read technical documents.

Keeping directory software on top while you manually enter data from it.

Keep online streaming video on top while you do work in the background.

Keep your to do list visible so you don't lose track of your priorities.

You could even keep pictures of your kids visible at all times."

The program is has 20 day trial, and is free if you register it.

I've used HeldUp and find it handy.
