Hi,

I have a link on my web page. On click, this link opens a new window using following code. If the user TABs to see something on main web page the new window goes behind. If the user clicks on the link again the window doesn't come up. Is there any way we can bring the window in front (setfocus) if it already exists ?

remote1 = window.open("","remotewin","width=600,height=135,top=250,left=100");
remote1.location.href = "File1.htm";
if (remote1.opener == null)
remote1.opener = window;
remote1.opener.name = "opener";

Thanks

Yes, it's very easy, just use this code:

remote1 = window.open("",eval("'n"+Math.floor(Math.random()*1000)+"'"),"width=600,height=135,top=250,left=100");
remote1.location.href = "File1.htm";
if (remote1.opener == null)
remote1.opener = window;
remote1.opener.name = "opener";

Hello everyone,

I found the tip posted below and it worked great for the part of the code that DKL01 posted. But I couldn't bring the window in front if it already exists by using the code that cyberwolf14 posted. So, how do I bring the new window in front if it already exists and without openning a new window. Here's the problem originally posted:

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
