[thelist] Bringing windows to the foreground with javascript

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 15:40:20 -0600

The function works for opening the window, but doesn't re-establish focus on
the glossary window.

I did find manage to find a solution though, right after I sent my question
to the list (of course).  For those who may be interested I added this code
to each of the glossary definitions.

<body onload="this.window.focus();return true;">

works like a charm...
