Hey everyone, I'm currently working on a php project that started about 3 years ago (meaning, it's already quite large.).
It uses quite a lot of pupups that seem to work great in all browsers... or used to until IE 7 came along.
The problem is, if I have a link that generates a popup but also relocates the page where the link was clicked, the main page will come on top of the popup when it starts loading (this does not occur in any other browser other than IE 7.). This occurs if the page has an onload event that sets focus somewhere in the page.
I will provide an over-simplified example, try it out in FF, IE 6, and IE 7 to see what I mean:
content of popup.html:
<html>
<head>
<script language='javas cript'>
window.onload = function (){ window.document .getElementById ('inputThing'). focus(); };
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href='popup.htm l' onclick="window .open('popup.ht ml','','width=2 00,height=200') ;">Click Me</a>
<input id='inputThing' type='text'></input>
</body>
</html>

Welcome to TSDN - The Scripts.
Set focus to the popup window.
thanks for the welcome.
I already tried that, but it will not work: the main window will give the focus to the popup, however, afterwards it will start loading the page in the href and come on top of the popup.
-
<html>
-
<head>
-
<script language='javascript'>
-
window.onload = function (){ window.document.getElementById('inputThing').focus(); };
-
function popup(){
-
var newWindow = window.open('popup.html','','width=200,height=200');
-
newWindow.focus(); // This will execute, but afterwards the window that executes
-
// it will reload and come on top of the popup window
-
}
-
</script>
-
</head>
-
<body>
-
<a href='popup.html' onclick="popup();">Click Me</a>
-
<input id='inputThing' type='text'></input>
-
</body>
-
</html>

Just trying out the [ code][ /code] thingy :D

If you want to avoid a reload of the page, put "return false;" after window.open.
that's part of the problem, I don't want to avoid the reload. It's part of the specs, the popup should open and the window should relocate to a different location :S
Also, I don't think a return false would work, since the link has a href :P

A return false would work. It prevents the browser following the link.
Anyway, to work around your problem, call setTimeout to cause a delay. Then set focus to the popup.
acoder, thank you very much for all your help, I hate to be a pain.
The problem is, no matter what javascript I write in the main window, it will relocate to the href after executing it (so, even if I cause a delay and give focus to the popup, the main window will relocate after executing this code and come on top of the popup, only in IE7, of course).

Well, one possibility is to give focus onload to the popup by passing a parameter to to the page, e.g. popup.html?win= popid where popid is the ref. to the popup. Use the location.search property ( link). I don't know if it will work, haven't tried it. Then use that to set focus to the popup after giving focus to the input element.
Another possibility is to let the popup perform the reloading by: - window.opener.window.location.reload()
These are only suggestions. See if they work.
