Hi All, Hope u are well

I have a predominantely ASP coded intranet which i am writing a file / document manager for.Results are returned from an Indexing Service datasource and results paged in the standard way.

The thing is when someone gets results i give them the option to open the folder the actual file is in. I have a folder icon that opens a mapped drive (mapped as a share of the folder on the web server that is indexed)

So when you have a file match you can open a windows explorer window to a the actual folder the file is in.

The thing is i want the file to get focus, so if i have document3.doc as a result, i open the folder it is in and there are 10 documents in it, i want document3.doc to have the focus. (be selected or highlighted)

Many thanks for any advice.

btw, i assume its Javascript i want cos its gonna be a realtime event.

Dave :)
