[thelist] Minimising the window and IE pop up windows

[Paul Backhouse]

cheers jeff, i had searched around but came up empty, was hoping someone on
the list might have some sort of niffy script - nevermind.

Just though of another question...im basically creating a project timer, a
small window that sit in the top left of the screen - the user clicks on a
project number and then it starts timing how long the user has worked on
it - the timer will be in an input field (no borders on the box to give the
illusion its not in an input field) - 5 minutes the page will refresh and
redirect and take a record of the time (as a backup incase IE crashes) -
wondering if anyone knows how to start a timer (maybe javascript timer was
going to look for an ASP one) from its leave point.

So basically a new timer is started, this redirects to a process page that
writes the result every so often, this then redirects back to timer page and
collects the previous result (time) from the database - the issue is
starting it from here (ie: 32 minutes and 15 seconds etc...), so it appears
seemless - any idea?

cheers

no.  the closest you'll get is the blur() method with no reliable way move
it behind another window except to call the blur() method on the popup from
another window as well as calling the focus() method for the window you want
to cover the popup with.

good luck,
