Hi All,
I've got a strange problem in IE that I wonder if anyone has seen
before. Basically, I've got a two window scenario. The parent window
opens the child via window.open(). The child contains a form and
submissions are processed in the child window. When the child window
form is submitted and the results are returned, an alert box is thrown
up via setTimeout("ale rt(....)", 2000). For some odd reason, when
this alert is displayed, focus is transferred back to the parent
window with the alert box on top. When you press the OK button on the
alert, focus is transferred back to where it should be; on the child
window. This doesn't happen all the time. But it happens. Is there
something I can do to solve this mystery?
Thanks.

I'd expect this if the alert was coming from the parent window.

Why don't you eliminate the alert and unhide some text in the window
you want a message to appear?
Thanks.

Hi,
I found the problem. When you submit the form on the child, the
parent was getting refreshed. During this refresh, JS on the parent
was running: trying to place focus on an edit control. Therefore,
focus got transferred to the parent window as well. I took care of
this. rc*******@my-deja.com (Robert) wrote in message news:<c6******* *************** ***@posting.goo gle.com>... rn****@cudbytec h.net (Robert Nurse) wrote in message news:<a9******* *************** ****@posting.go ogle.com>... Hi All,

I'm struggling with the JavaScript blur event. I have an activex

to instruct it to give up control of a barcode scanner so that the
application being brought foreward can take control.
It has been my observation that when I set the window.onblur function,
the window will gain focus and then immediately lose focus (blur) to
the first field, button, or whatever that is...

or how to write the function.

While reading c.l.j, I've noticed that some people prefer and indeed even
recommend the use of "window.alert()" over "alert()".
I can't find any technical reason to make this distinction, and seems to
have a (tiny) amount overhead since window itself points to the global
object, hence, a circular reference.
(From everything I am reading, window is just a REFERENCE back to the
global object, as opposed to a separate object.)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
