I just ran into this problem myself. I found a script on irt.org and
modified it appropriately...
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function openhelp(aanchor) {
if (!window.helpwindow) {
// has not yet been defined
helpwindow = window.open ("store_help.htm#" + aanchor + "",
"storehelp", "height=350, width=340, scrollbars=yes");
}
else {
// has been defined
if (!helpwindow .closed) {
// still open
helpwindow = window.open ("store_help.htm#" + aanchor + "",
"storehelp", "height=350, width=340, scrollbars=yes");
window2.focus();
}
else {
helpwindow = window.open ("store_help.htm#" + aanchor + "",
"storehelp", "height=350, width=340, scrollbars=yes");
}
}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
I think the last else statement is extraneous, but it doesn't seem to be
hurting anything...

Subject: RE: PopUp Problem
Yes Marcus it does have the onload="window.focus()" in the body section.
The problem is that a user click that references the SAME DOCUMENT with
a different anchor ... ie somedoc.html#someanchor does not fire the
onload=window.focus() routine.
Am I being clear?
Sure hope so.
