Focus on Parent Hides Popup

[quinnipiac0807]

I have a parent form that I have set the focus to a certain textbox. The focus works fine, but the problem is, when I open the popup using window.open(), it resets the focus to the same textbox again hides the popup behind the parent window. Is there any way around this?

Thanks in advance.

When are you calling the code to set the focus on the textbox?

I've tried both setting it in the Body tag on the onLoad event. And I've also tried to just do it with javascript right after the HTML for the textbox.

Hmm... so your main window has an onload event handler that focusses the textbox (which works fine)... and when you then open a popup, the popup loses focus because the textarea is focussed again?

It's odd that the textarea is being focussed when the popup is opened when you don't mention anything about an onblur, etc. Can you post your code?
