[Javascript] another new window question

Wed Oct 16 08:42:40 CDT 2002

Element K just had a tip on that.  I've slightly modified their tip to allow passage of the site to the function.  I believe popupWin.focus() is what you are looking for:

function openWindow1(url) {
popupWin = window.open("http://" + url, 'win', 'menubar=yes,status=no,toolbars=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=800,height=600')
popupWin.focus()
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:openWindow1('www.domain1.com')">Click Me!!! - domain1.com</a><br><br>
<a href="javascript:openWindow1('www.domain2.com')">Click Me!!! - domain2.com</a>
