Problem with new window...

secretsquirrel · Jun 11, 2001

Hi guys,

This problem's probably been posted before, but here goes...

I've got a list of three links. If a user clicks on any of these links, a new window (let's call it window X) is opened using target="_new".

If the user leaves window X open, returns to the original one and selects a different link, the new page will load into window X.

How can I bring the focus back to window X ? - bearing in mind that window X doesn't have a name, so I can't use anything like myNewWindow.focus()

Cheers in advance,

SS

Try putting this on the window's onLoad --

<body onLoad="window.focus();">

And that's assuming that you have control over the code of these popups. If you don't then you need to assign them a reference in order to do this.
