Cannot get .focus to work in firefox
I cannot an existing child window to focus in firfox using the below. This script works fine under Safari and Netscape. Is there a way to make a child window focus in firefox?
[code:2nquxgdp]var win=null;
var openedYet=false;
function poppy(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll,pos){
//alert ("area 0");
if(!openedYet){
//alert ("area 1");
if(pos=="random"){
LeftPosition=(screen.width)?Math.floor(Math.random()*(screen.width-w)):100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?Math.floor(Math.random()*((screen.height-h)-75)):100;
settings='width='+w+',height='+h+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no';
win=window.open(mypage,myname,settings);
}
if(pos=="center"){
LeftPosition=(screen.width)?(screen.width-w)/2:100;TopPosition=(screen.height)?(screen.height-h)/2:100;
settings='width='+w+',height='+h+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no';
win=window.open(mypage,myname,settings);
}
else if((pos!="center" && pos!="random") || pos==null){
LeftPosition=50;
TopPosition=50;
alert ("area 2: Did not specify correct position or gave no position");
}
openedYet=true;
}else{
if(loaded=="false"){
LeftPosition=x;
TopPosition=y;
//alert("im loaded but needs new win");
settings='width='+w+',height='+h+',top='+TopPosition+',left='+LeftPosition+',scrollbars='+scroll+',location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=no';
win=window.open(mypage,myname,settings);
}else{
// this focus will not work - why?
win.focus();
}
}
