Hi,

Try using the name attribute in the window.open function
window.open(url,name)

If u call window.open with the same name, it will use the already opened window.

However, this doesnt seem to work on Netscape 8.0 which uses tabbed windows within the browser.

Cheers

thanks for your immediate reply, but i have called popup window using window.open(url,...) it is working fine.

my thing is that, suppose we have not closed the popup window we just minimized the popup window.(it is opend)

now again i call the popup window on mainwindow. that time the popup window is already opend. so when u click again popup window that time the minimized window should be restore on desktop.

bye

You shuold store the window.open into a variable

var winPop = window.open(.....);

then you can use that variable

winPop.focus();
