Restore page that is minimised

[Shazza]

I am currently opening a page with the following code,

function ShowDetails(value)

{


var filename

window.parent.open( "ProSoftFileDetails.asp?id=" + value, filename)


}

This successfully achieves my goal of not creating a new window each time the function is called however if the page is minimised instead of closed, when the next page is called by this function it is called successfully but remains minimised, this causes confusion (understandably) for the users as they do not understand they have to restore the window concerned. This is actually an DHTML question I guess but ...hopefully someone can help.
Thanks in advance

You need to set the new window to focus whenever it loads a new page.

newWin = open(...);
newWin.onload = someAction();
