Open Page in New Window Always 2

[dakota81]

There are many times where I want to use the window.open() command or in other cases I can use the <a target=&quot;new&quot;...> </a> text, but sometimes they pop up in a window that is already opened, like if I click the button twice or something.

Is there a different way to force the link to always come up in a brand new fresh browser window?

Or taking a slightly different approach, can I make the window that the page is loading in move up to the front so it is immediately seen on the screen?


I'm building a small custom app in IE only, so I don't need to worry about cross-browser compatibility.

In the window looking, add an onload option in the body tag, can't remember exact syntax but I think it's window.focus()

Thanks all, I'll probably be using a combination of the two methods, as some windows I do need to open up through JavaScript (like when I pass URL variables based on input boxes).
