Hi Troy,
There is another way, just for your reference
When you do a window.open you specifie a name
Ie. Window.open('url','WinName','options')
You can then check if open by the following
If (WinName != null)
{
if (WinName.closed)
{
//reopen code here
}
else
{
WinName.focus();
}
}
Take care,

Works like a champ, this is working code:
function winopen(url,name,params)
{
try{
clientwin.focus();
}
catch(e){
clientwin = window.open(url,name,params);
}
}
Thanks
Troy
