hey rusty thanks for the reply.... My application is internal only... at the end of accomplishing a task, the applet opens a browser and goes to an internal url....
The users are lazy and want what they want, they don't want to follow our standard proceedures, so they don't bother closing the web page and then expect the next time the application accomplishes the same task, then that existing browser instance will again be brought to the forefront displaying the new information, but it does'nt, it just changes behind the scenes and they don't like that. I have argued blue in the face that we are not following standard practices BUT they don't care, nothing about the program is normal anyway so i needed to come up with some type of workaround but i can't seem to come up with anything.
The url we hit is dynamically assembled and passed to the applet.. i don't have access to the code from the web page we actually hit soooooo i was trying to control the browser, either bring it to front, or close it onBlur so that when it called showDocument the next time it would create a new browser instance and when that happens it always opens a new one on top... My problem basically lies in the fact that the user won't close the browser window on their own, and i have been told to fix it... :-(
