[CODE=javascript]window.open('ww w.google.com',' _blank', 'width=200,heig ht=200');[/CODE]

Hey Gits, Thanks for your reply.

Please help.

Kind regards,

Ok.
Have a look at this.

[code=javascript]
function test()
{
try{
var win_array = new Array();
for(var i=0;i<10;i++){
win_array[i] = window.open('', '_blank','heigh t=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) ;}
}
[/code]

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

Kind regards,
Dmjpro.

don't get me wrong djmpro

[CODE=javascript]var win_num = Math.round(Math .random()*10);
win_array[win_num-1].focus();[/CODE]

but [win_num-1] can sometimes give value of -1

**gits** · Sep 11 '07, 06:40 AM

hmmm ...

i tried something ... have a look at the following example, may be it helps:

[CODE=javascript]// open a window and hold a ref
var t = window.open('ht tp://www.google.de', 'test', 'width=200,heig ht=200');

// create a callback that gets the t-ref
var cb = function(t) {
t.opener.focus( );
};

// call the cb
cb(t);[/CODE]
kind regards

Sorry!
It will be......
[code=javascript]
win_array[win_num!=0?win_ num-1:win_num].focus();
[/code]

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:

[CODE=javascript]var t = window.open('ht tp://www.google.de', 'test', 'width=200,heig ht=200');

var t1 = window.open('ht tp://www.google.de', 'test1', 'width=200,heig ht=200');

var cb = function(win) { win.focus(); };

cb(t);[/CODE]
kind regards

hi ...

i looked over it ... the following is working. forget about the cb and so on ... ;) i like to use cbs everywhere ... but you don't need ...

[CODE=javascript]var win_array = [];
for(var i=0; i < 3; i++){
win_array[i] = window.open('ht tp://www.google.com' ,
'_blank','heigh t=200,width=200 ');
win_array[i].document.title = 'test________'+ (i+1);
}

var win_num = Math.round(Math .random()*3);
var w_ref = win_array[win_num !=0 ? win_num-1 : win_num];

w_ref.focus();[/CODE]
kind regards

**gits** · Sep 11 '07, 07:19 AM

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:

[CODE=javascript]getFocus(win_ar ray[win_num!=0?win_ num-1:win_num]);[/CODE]
and my last code worked in Firefox ... definitly!

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

Code:

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

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

kind regards
