focusing a child IE window.

caesarkim · Dec 21, 2005

I have a scenario. I have an IE child browser opened by a main browser. And I want to close the child browser and make it open again after 5 minutes. But the thing is that it actually opens after 5 minutes, but it doesn't come up to the front if I am using other applications.

is there any way to bring it to the front?

Try calling the window's focus method from the onload event of the popup:

Code:

<body onload="self.focus();">

Hope this helps,

Thank you for your answer. but I have multiple framesets. i put onLoad="self.focus()" in the frameset tag. but it doesn't seem to work. it still doesn't pop up. it still blinks.

Now you mention the framesets.

OK - try putting that code in the top-most frameset page (not the frames) that is loaded into the popup.
