You can get pretty close using something like:
The jQuery Window[^] plugin.

My 5 for offering something which does not really similar to MDI.
Please see my solution.

Thanks, Sergey - I'm a bit uncertain about why you are having such trouble with the MDI interface. While certainly not suited for many applications, it's even done well in some areas that isn't particularly document oriented either.
Take a look at the video on this page: http://goinfront.com/pro/index.asp

I cannot recommand that solution as it will tend to lead to bad site design.

Anyway - follow the link and play with the demo, you may even end up using it :)

Solution 4

It does not make much sense to simulate MDI on the web. As much as possible, web sites should use the concept of web page where each page has its own address.

If the user want to display multiple windows, it should use its browser commands to open that page in a new windows or a new tab.

Who needs MDI? It spoiled enough of UI design in desktop, now you want it in Web. Avoid anything resembling MDI by all means, that's it.

See:
