javascript - why window.focus() not working in Mozilla firefox?

Question

I need to focus on window opened on further clicks on anchor tag. I have used the below function to do so.

function newwindow(url) 
{ 
    OpenWin = this.open(url,"mywindow");
    OpenWin.focus();
} 

OpenWin.focus() is not working on Mozilla Firefox. Is there any other solution to focus on window opened on further clicks on anchor tag?

Answer 1

You probably need to allow scripts to raise windows, since Firefox does not allow that by default.

In the Content tab of the Options dialog, click the Advanced... button next to the Enable Javascript check box, then check the Raise and lower windows box in the resulting dialog.
