Hello,
I'm trying to get a popup to keep focus when it is re-clicked.
The script below is supposed to produce this exact behaviour,
however it doesn't work, at least on firefox 1.0.7 and moz 1.7.12
(linux kubuntu). It does work with konqueror.
It seems to work with firefox on windows but not with IE (not completly
sure though).
<script type="text/javascript">
var WindowObjectRef erence = null; // global variable
function openFFPromotion Popup()
{
if(WindowObject Reference == null || WindowObjectRef erence.closed)
/* if the pointer to the window object in memory does not exist
or if such pointer exists but the window was closed */
{
WindowObjectRef erence =
window.open("ht tp://www.spreadfiref ox.com/",
"PromoteFirefox WindowName",
"resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes, status=yes");
/* then create it. The new window will be created and
will be brought on top of any other window. */
}
else
{
WindowObjectRef erence.focus();
/* else the window reference must exist and the window
is not closed; therefore, we can bring it back on top of any
other
window with the focus() method. There would be no need to
re-create
the window or to reload the referenced resource. */
};
}
</script>
(...)
<p><a href="http://www.spreadfiref ox.com/"
target="Promote FirefoxWindowNa me"
onclick="openFF PromotionPopup( ); return false;"
title="This link will create a new window or will re-use
an already opened one">Promote Firefox adoption</a></p>
The weird thing is... it is copied from
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs....open#Examples !
I must mention that i've activated javscript and allowed it to control
focus with firefox and even disabled bpopup blocking, but it didn't
helped :(, neither did the many variante i've found on the web or in
this newsgroup.
I'm really clueless, but i'm just catching up with javascript so i hope
i've missed an obvious point.
So if anyone
