window.focus()

When I call this function the window appears as desired but the window is not focused. Isn't that possible? Still the mother window is focused.

Code:

---


Sub JavaScriptAlertRedirect()
        Dim strScript As String = ""

        strScript = "<script>"
        strScript = strScript & "var winName = 'w';"
        strScript = strScript & "var winFeatures = 'width=520,height=640,top=0,left=0,status';"
        strScript = strScript & "var winURL = 'http://localhost/Prisberegning2004/udskrift.aspx';"
        strScript = strScript & "var w;"
        strScript = strScript & "w = window.open(winURL,winName,winFeatures);"
        strScript = strScript & "w.focus();"
        strScript = strScript & "</script>"

        'Allows the alert box to be shown without wiping the controls off the page.
        Page.RegisterStartupScript("ClientScript", strScript)
    End Sub

That works for me. What browser are you using?

It's Win200 Pro with IE 6.0.2800.1106CO and the window from which I redirect remains active and the new window is placed in the background

When are you calling JavaScriptAlertRedirect() ?

The main page may be doing more processing and somehow keep focus.

I just did a test of your function on a button click and it works fine. I have the exact same OS and IE version.

You may try setting status=no in the winFeatures var
