HELP!!! Code question...
 

I need someone here to show off how big their code penis is, please. You'd think I'd now the answer to this one after 14 years of coding, but sometimes you get soemthing that hasn't come up before...

I've got a popup console that launches and is the top layer/focus. When someone clicks on an item in the console I have it launch back into the browser underneath and want to change focus back to that browser instead of having the console still sitting up top. How can I do it???

Bump for an answer for Mark.

is it: opener.focus()

or just close the console after the click that targets opener?

i dunno. here's a bumpity.

See Example 4...

Thanks for the link. It's not quite it though. It does launch the new link in the original browser (which we managed to accomplish thus far) but it does not move the popup window to the background. That's the main thing I need.

Example #2 might hold the key though. Trying that now...

Dang nope... couldn't quite make that work.

In your popup window set your HREF's as such:
<a href="javascript:window.blur()">click</a>

Sorry to sound newb, but where then does the URL mix in with that?
<a href="javascript:window.blur(INSERTSITEURL?)">clic k</a>

var newPop = window.open('url');
newPop.blur();

Grasias!

In the window that pops up:

put this in the head

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
function leave() { if (exit) this.blur();}
</SCRIPT>

In the body tag of the doc: onBeforeUnload="return leave();"

that should work

Nice. If I can ever help ya' out, just let me know.
