[cfaussie] RE: OT: Javascript: Focus the new window

I've never had much luck in (confidently) getting Javascript code to 'refresh' without closing browser windows and re-opening them. If someone has a way I'd be keen to hear it...

If you givr the window a name i.e.

var newWin = open(...)

you should be able to do the following

newWin.focus();

Hi,

I am opening a new window ( a login window with back/forward buttons)
from a websites' default page.

Problem is, the new login window does not receive the focus.

<SCRIPT language="javascript">
function openLoginWindow()
{
 var loginwindow;
 loginwindow =
window.open("Password/sb_password.cfm","LoginWindow", "fullscreen=no,
location=1, scrollbars=1, resizable=1");

}
</SCRIPT>


<body onLoad="javascript: openLoginWindow();">

Funny thing is:

I had tried to close the calling window with window.close(); after
opening the new one. This actually caused the new login window to have
focus, and behind it was browser error message asking the user to
click
yes or no to close the browser window.

Can someone help with:
1. Open a new window that has focus, and close the old calling window
without user prompts?
Or
2. Or just open a new window that has the focus?

Cheers,
