How to raise a window on top ?

[inf...@indosuez.lu]

Hi !

Does anybody know how to raise a window on top ? I would like to have
the target window to come on the front of the screen as part of an
onClick() handling routine.

Thanks for your help

Use focus().

For example,

<script>
targetWindow = window.open("","","")
</script>

<a href='javascript:void()'
onclick='targetWindow.focus()'>Go to Target Window</a>
<a href='javascript:void()'
onclick='window.blur()'>Leave This Window</a>
<a href='javascript:void()'
onclick='targetWindow.close()'>Close Target Window</a>

You can also use window.opener.focus() to go back to the window that
opens it.

<a href='javascript:void()'
onclick='window.opener.focus()'>Go back to my creator</a>

Simply put:

windowName.focus();

where windowName is the name of the window to receive the focus.

Try 'self.focus()' for it. That only works in Netscape however, and in the
IE version - it gives an error, saying that the function is not used for a
window or something like that.
