open new popup windows and focus a certain one

2,476 2GB

Today I facing a strange problem.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

window.open(url,'_blank');

It opens a separate window in IE but in others where new Tab in same window allowed, is not working.
I mean it opens in different Tab but in same Window.
How can i make this in separate window?
One more thing ..............

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

window.focus();

is not working for Tab System Browsers.
Please help.

Kind regards,
Dmjpro.

heya dmjpro,

you have to set the width and height:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

window.open('www.google.com','_blank', 'width=200,height=200');

Ok.
Have a look at this.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
function test()

            {

            try{

                var win_array = new Array();

                for(var i=0;i<10;i++){

                win_array[i] = window.open('','_blank','height=200,width=200');

                win_array[i].document.title = 'test________'+(i+1);

                }

                var win_num = Math.round(Math.random()*10);

                win_array[win_num-1].focus();

                }catch(e){alert(e.description);}

            }

As a result it always gets focus on the last window.
Please help.

Kind regards,

 // open a window and hold a ref

var t = window.open('http://www.google.de','test', 'width=200,height=200'); 
 
// create a callback that gets the t-ref

var cb = function(t) {

    t.opener.focus();

};
 
// call the cb

cb(t);

kind regards

win_array[win_num!=0?win_num-1:win_num].focus();

Thanks for your reply!
But I want any window to be focused.
Your code only makes Opener window to be focused.
This is not my Objective.
Please Help.

hi ...

this works analogue, with a small adaption ... simply pass the win-ref to focus to the the cb:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 var t = window.open('http://www.google.de','test', 'width=200,height=200'); 
 
var t1 = window.open('http://www.google.de','test1', 'width=200,height=200'); 
 
var cb = function(win) { win.focus(); }; 
 
cb(t);

kind regards

w_ref.focus();

Again failed.
But what I think you changed nothing.
I trying in Mozilla.
var win_array = [] this does not work in IE.
I think var win_array = new Array() works in Most Browsers.
But I still finding out the solution.
It works fine in IE but not in IE.
Please help me again.

Kind regards,
Dmjpro.

hi ...

i changed your last code here:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

getFocus(win_array[win_num!=0?win_num-1:win_num]);

and my last code worked in Firefox ... definitly!

which IE? test the following in the address-bar of IE:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

javascript:var i = [];alert(typeof i);

in case you get object - it works ... IE6 did it!

... test again with my working code and use:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

var w_ref = win_array[0];

instead of:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

var w_ref = win_array[win_num !=0 ? win_num-1 : win_num];

the first opened popup should be focused. is it?
