minimize window (IE6)

[jacek]

hi,
I have a form and onsubmit there's a code like this <form [...]
onsubmit="w=window.open([parameters]); w.blur(); " >

the window opens correctly, all the parameters work just fine, but the
window doesn't get minimized.
My browser is Internet Explorer 6.

[window].blur() does not minimize the window, in fact, in a number of
operating systems, there is no concept of a "minimized window".

[window].blur() _may_, on some browsers, on some operating systems, force
the focus to be lost on the window. The exact result of the window losing
focus is browser and platform dependant, but it is unlikely it would ever
result in a window becoming minimized.

Why should it? Minimizing a window is not what blur() is
intended to do, it merely removes the focus from a control.
