[Javascript] changing graphics in new window

[Håkan Magnusson]

My direct answer to this would be no, you can't prevent the flickering. 
Thing is, the automatic focus/blur functionality of the browser 
application window is controlled by the operating system. You can 
trigger events when the browser gain/loses focus, but you can't prevent 
it from actually happening.

I am 99.7% sure of this, perhaps you could make it work in IE through 
some ambigous speciality with that browser, but that is beyond what I 
want to know. :)
