Hello,

Say you have your browser window open, then you click to focus another window in your bar down there on the bottom you your screen, is there a javascript that will make the browser window focus to the front? Becuse self.focus(); doesn't work unless your try to minimize the window.

Thanks,

Tony

Hi!

This is a very annoying thing for the user if they really want to leave your window - but this script below works for me. Just don't try to get it running from both Netscape and IE windows like I just did as you get focus flipping from one to the other...flicker flicker...scream!

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> New Document </TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY onblur=&quot;self.focus();&quot;>
This is very annoying
</BODY>
