Bring Browser to Front

Is there a way in javascript to bring the IE browser window to the front on a certain event?

I tried the following command:

Code:

---

top.focus();

---

But it only seemed to make the taskbar item 'flash', not actually bring the window to the front.

I suspect this may be disabled for security reasons in IE ...

Anybody know for sure?

Hmm should work, if you are trying to do this immediatly after opening the popup try setting a delay.

setTimeout('TheNewWin.focus();',30000); //will do 30 second delow)

Ah yes - except I'm actually calling it from javascript on the page itself.

The customer has a 3rd party Active-X which can receive events from another App (when IE is hidden behind that App) ... [we are running in an Intranet environment :rolleyes: ]

When it gets the event, I call top.focus; - the IE Taskbar item flashes but does not actually come to the front ....
