<P>This is just a guess but.... If there were no other code in your function after the window.open event, then the focus would remain on your new window.<BR><BR>P.S. The second parameter of your window.open event, which you have passed as nothing (""), is for the window name.</P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Subject: [Javascript] focus() not working in NN6
<DIV></DIV>Date: Wed, 07 Nov 2001 00:15:51 +0000
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hello,
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I'm trying to find some insight into why this code does
<DIV></DIV>not work in NN6. This code is the event handler for an
<DIV></DIV>href tag. When I click the link, the new window opens
<DIV></DIV>and the correct URL loads, but then the original window
<DIV></DIV>gets the focus almost immediately. If I comment out the
<DIV></DIV>newWindow.focus() line, the new window is displayed for
<DIV></DIV>a few seconds longer, but it still loses focus.
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Thanks for any insights you can provide.
<DIV></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>document.links[idx].target = "";
<DIV></DIV>document.links[idx].href=self.location +
<DIV></DIV>self.location.hash;
