Anyone have a good script for keeping a child window focused?

**msimmons** · Dec 7th, 2001, 02:15 PM

I need to open a new window and have the user finish with that window before going back to the parent. I tried the showModalDialog approach but it has too many problems. I used to have a script that would do wwhat I wanted but it dosen't seem to be working:

the parent's code:

Code:

var taiWin=0

function openchildwindow() {
	var intWidth = document.body.offsetWidth / 2 - 225;
	var intHeight = document.body.offsetHeight / 2 - 200;
	taiWin=	window.open("test.asp","TAI")
} 
function keepchildontop(){
	if(taiWin){
	taiWin.Focus();
	}
}

and in the parent's body tag

Code:

<BODY BGCOLOR="#<%= Session("BGColor") %>" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" LEFTMARGIN="0" onFocus="keepchildontop()">

but that isnt working. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

can't you do,

<body onBlur="document.focus();">

something like that, i never tried so give it a shot!

So, simplistic, so obvious, so perfect. I don't know why I wanted to make it so hard for myself

Thanks!
