Hi Troy,
Try:
try{
clientwin.focus();
}catch(e){
return false;
}
This is a built in method for JavaScript (since 1.0?) to get around
potential errors your script may generate. Instead of the 'return false'
you can insert other code to do all kinds of things, as well as have nested
'try' statements.
I find this feature invaluable in JavaScript. I believe it is cross-browser
and works with most versions of Netscape, but I do know that it doesn't
work in MSIE 4.0
Hope this helps. Cheers...
