window.open and focus

if anyone is still curious about this recently posted issue creating
error 'member not found'

function imageWindow(whichImage)
{
imageWindow = window.open(whichImage,
'myWindow','width=450,height=200')
imageWindow.focus()
}

I was experiencing the same problem and determined that the error was
experienced when loading a pdf file. in the above case the user appears
to be loading an image. The problem does not occur when simply loading
html files.

Your addition would have been useful if you continued the thread you are
referring to or at least posted the Message ID of the respective posting.
As it is, it is just another waste of bandwidth.

Wouldn't that have been nice. But unfortunately I had just joined the
newsgroup and no 'reply' function was available to me. Only 'start a
new topic'. No idea why.

How much coffee do you drink?

Because you missed it. I also have a Google Groups account (to delete
duplicate postings there), and when I "joined" comp.lang.javascript for
testing this, both "Reply" and "show options"/"reply" were there.

Just do not use Google Groups, use a newsreader. USENET is not a
Web forum/bulletin board. You cannot really "join" a newsgroup, you
subscribe to it instead.

Not to mention that "subscribe", though the accepted term, is
misleading, since the act of "subscription" occurs solely at the client.
