tab,

: well, I don't know if there are other ways, but this did the trick:
:
: function FullScreen(url)
: {
: var fs = window.open(url, 'B', 'resizable');
: fs.focus();
: return true;
: }
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
notice how you're focusing it in your function. you're aware that the
window is assigned to a variables, in this case "fs". so, you'd need to
call it like that again to access it and it's properties and methods.
however, since the variable is defined as a variable that's local to the
function you have no way of accessing it outside of the function. you'll
have to make that variable a global variable for it to be accessible.
var fs = null;
function FullScreen(url)
{
fs = window.open(url, 'B', 'resizable');
fs.focus();
return true;
}
function focusFullscreen()
{
if(fs != null && fs.open && fs.focus)
fs.focus();
}
good luck,
