Problem with window.open in Firefox

[tochiromifune]

Hello

The window.open method brings my window to the top only if it is new. If
it's being reused, the window does not come to the foreground (with IE 6 it
does).

Is there a new way in Mozilla/Firefox that I can ensure that this
window comes to the top?

Thank you for your help

You can _never_ be sure that a window is new

Quite to the contrary my friend.

On the contrary, there were no flames present. Just a very good point. You
don't practice what you preach. Leading by example is much harder than
leading by words.

Perhaps if you questioned yourself about why your own work doesn't represent
the ideals that you seem to preach, you might be more sympathetic and
understand of others.

I'm reminded of the quote from the movie Silence Of The Lambs:
"You see a lot, Dr. Quinn. But are you
strong enough to point that high-powered
perception at yourself? How about it...?
Look at yourself and write down the truth.
Or maybe you're afraid to."

What does this even MEAN, why would anyone CARE, and why must you ANNOUNCE
your personal actions?

Thomas Lahn,

Anyone can verify all by himself my claims directed and regarding your
very own site and your admonishing+nit picking manners.
You have been preaching in this newsgroup during years about valid
markup code, validating webpages, etc.. but your own website fails
miserably and has been failing miserably for years to comply with your
own preaching standards.

Anyone can go to the WDG validator site and verify this:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/vali...&hidevalid=yes
Validation of http://pointedears.de/scripts/

http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/vali...&hidevalid=yes

1102 markup errors out of 100 pages.

You use frames, you use deprecated attributes hundreds of times, you use
deprecated elements, you don't even use a strict DTD, etc,etc, etc..

Anyone can verify for himself my claims here.

Your site is exactly the opposite of what you admonishingly reproach in
other's code. You have been told this before in this newsgroup and you
have continued to ignore such call to become yourself consequent,
coherent. So, the logical conclusion should be that you are an
hypocritical, some sort of a deliberate liar, a cheater.

You practice the reverse of what you demand to others. You deny what you
demand to others. You refuse to comply with your own demands to others.

The focus works in IE but not in Firefox.

Pop-ups and Pop-unders are considered to be one of so-called "Common
Annoyances" in Firefox and they have damn good reasons to think so (me
too).

In Firefox:
1) Tools > Options...
2) Switch on "Content" tab
3) Uncheck "Block Popup Windows"
4) In "Enable JavaScript" section click "Advanced"
5) Check "Raise or lower windows"

Now your Firefox is vulnerable against popup advertisers of all kinds.
And you script should work too - but you can realize how useless it can
be on a real run.

P.S. Do not forget to put default settings back for your own good! ;-)
