I was originally looking to create some sort of user dialogue/interface
to let a user know what is happening when a script is running. I've
implemented Richard Mueller's solution as shown at
http://www.rlmueller.net/IE%20Display.htm which is excellent
(basically an IE Window pops up and the text changes as my script
runs). However....

I have a slight issue - when launching the script from a link in
Internet Explorer the new window telling the user what's going on
doen't automatically focus - e.g. it stays minimised in the task bar
with the other Internet Explorer Windows, flashing (like when you're
sent an IM on MSN/Windows (Live) Messenger). The user would therefore
need to click on the window to view it. I just want this window to be
focused on. I've had a play around with some code and looked on the
net but unfortunately am not getting anywhere fast. Any help very much
appreciated as always. Thank you.
