window.opener.focus() doesn't work

[민병성]

I have a trouble in focusing a parent page from a child popup page while hiding the child popup page behind the parent page.

From the parent page,

window.open(url, 'childWnd', 'width=400,height=300,top=100,left=100')

From the child popup page,

window.blur();

window.opener.focus();

But, the expression "window.opener.focus()" doesn't work.

It works in IE.

What's wrong with it?

Am I using focus function invalidly??

Chrome does not support letting windows steal the focus programmatically.

One of the reasons is probably that it confuses users (windows suddenly jump in the middle of their work). Another one is probably that it prevents pop unders (not completely, but it is one of the basic defenses).
