Setting Focus after window.close()

[audiopro]

I have an HTML form which contains several animated Gif's.
There is a link on the form which launches a contact form within a new window using window.open() - this works ok and the resulting form can be completed is submitted to a PERL script, which generates a reply within the child form. Then
I close the form with a button set up to run function - window.close(). Window closes and shows original calling window but now the animations are frozen and attempting to run the window.open() function results in the following error.

Line: 1
Char: 1
Error: The callee(not server application) is not available and disappeared; all connections are invalid. The call did not execute.
Code: 0
URL: [URL unfurl="true"]http://.............................[/URL]

It would appear tha the focus is not being passed back to the calling window but I have seen no mention of having to set the focus.
What am I missing?

This would probably be best handled in the Javascript forum

Make sure you show your JS code that opens the window, too. Copy and paste it from the original, don't type it in.
