what im trying to ask, is what kind of scripts are these commands useful for? If you have an idea that you could use them w/ whatever, plz let me know

Well, sometimes you may have a pop up window which you use as a target for links on your page say. So when you clicka link you get some information popping up.

So, when you minimise it, it stays there, even when a new link is clicked, so the user may notrealise something has happened.

So you make it spring back up, so they can see it!
Also you can make the window always on top.

like onblur = focus, to stop it minimizing.

try this code to see the important of these commands.



<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>

var newWin

function Do_open(site) {
if(!newWin||newWin.closed)
{newWin = window.open(site,&quot;&quot;,&quot;height=300,width=830,top=500,left=100,scrollbars=1,resizable=1&quot}
else if(!(newWin.closed))
{newWin.focus();}
}
</script>


<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Microsoft.com&quot; onclick=&quot;Do_open('

http://www.microsoft.com');return

false;&quot;>

Best regards

it's not only used for windows
for example, on a form, if an input isn't correct, you can focus on the field so the user won't scroll to it .. you can blur a field you want to be read only (ok that's not the proper way to do it, but it's an efficient one !) ...
