I am trying to use the open.window to get a new window
how can I make it modal so that I can still access the parent window thru code but cant switch focus to parent window until closing child window.

Thank you

Make the parent window a Frame and make the child window a Dialog. It has a constructor:
Dialog(Frame owner, boolean modal)

Are you talking about Javascript or Java?

Java. This IS a java forum. We have a different forum called "HTML and JavaScript" for JavaScript questions.
