Uh.. Shouldn't this: window.onload = showThisAlert(); Be: window.onload = showThisAlert;
??? And window.open() by defaults searches the window name space for a window with the name and return the object handle for that window. If it fails, only then does it create a new window and return the object handle for the new window. Window.focus() should have bring the window to the fore though. Not sure if this helps any. ---------------------------- James Ang Programmer MedSeek, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: S. Isaac Dealey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 11:33 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: javascript popup window I'm working with a named popup window ( and yes, I know ) ... so if the popup is still open and it's opened a second time, it doesn't open another window, it just reuses the existing window. The problem I'm having is that in Netscape, I can't seem to get the onload event to fire when the window is reopened. If I close the popup first, it works fine. If I leave the popup open and it opens a second time, I can't get it to display the popup info or come to the front. I have this script on the popup page: <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> function showThisAlert() { var arg = window.dialogArguments; arg.message = arg.message.replace("PRE>","P>"); setHTML("alertBody",arg.message); document.getElementById("ok").onclick = (typeof arg.onok == "string")? new Function(arg.onok) : arg.onok ; if (arg.oncancel != null) { document.getElementById("cancel").onclick = (typeof arg.oncancel == "string")? new Function(arg.oncancel) : arg.oncancel ; document.getElementById("cancel").style.display = "inline"; } } window.onload = showThisAlert(); window.onfocus = showThisAlert; window.focus(); </script> window.dialogArguments; is set by the js function that calls the popup window like this: mypopup = window.open(...); mypopup.dialogArguments = myargumentsobject; Like I say, it works beautifully the first time the popup is opened.
