pictures are poping up in an existing window...

[fiuPikeOY]

Hello,

I have a page with a series of thumnails. Each is supposed to launch a pop up with that picture but larger. The problem is that the first one works fine, but when you click on any other thumbnail, the picture is loaded on the pre-existing pop-up which is now behind the main page, and the user can't realize that is there. Is there a way of always bringing that pop-up to the front?

Thanks

if you opened it this way...

win=window.open('...','...');

then you can say

win=window.open('...','...');
win.focus()

just put the focus in after you've written everything to the window that you want to write to it.

You can either

1) use a different window name for each popup, or

2) invoke the "focus()" method of the child window. You can do that from the parent by using the variable you set when you opened the window:

var x = window.open();
x.focus();
