Inactive menu items in IE

[FesterSXS]

Hi,

I have a child window with a link to close the child window and return focus to the caller. WHen I do this and try to use the menu items (File,Edit,View,etc) in the caller window, I get no response at all. Only if I minimise the window then maximise it again do I get access to these items again.

Any ideas why this could be happening?

The code I am using to close the child window and return focus to the caller is below:

<A CLASS=back HREF=&quot;javascript://&quot; onClick=&quot;window.top.opener.focus(); window.top.close();&quot;><IMG SRC=&quot;<%=strSitepath%>images/close.gif&quot; WIDTH=46 HEIGHT=13 BORDER=0 HSPACE=0 VSPACE=0 ALT=&quot;Click here to close this window and return to the CAD Resource Centre&quot;></A>

regards

Tony

it's posible that i'm just not understanding your problem. but if i am, this is not a problem with your code, it's a problem with your browser. there is no way that you can lock up those things with html.

The menu items are ONLY disabled when I return from the child window using the link I mentioned. If I close the child window using the default close method (X in top right corner) then the problem does not occur. It is almost as if they stop working if I force focus() on the window. Wierd!!

I would point you to the site so you could see but it is on a VPN
