Window.open Changes Focus In Safari?
Mar 24, 2011
I use a cookie to keep track of a particular window (using window.name), lets call this the main window. I use the window to distribute data returned from the server.
I use window.open("",mainWindowName) to get the reference to the main window object.
The problem is in nearly all browsers this works fine (focus stays on the current window), however in Safari, window.open also sets focus to that window (mainWindowName).
Of course I can reset focus back to the current window in Safari, but there is a quick flash of windows focus changing and it doesn't look good.

if anyone is still curious about this recently posted issue creating error 'member not found'
function imageWindow(whichImage)
{
imageWindow = window.open(whichImage,
'myWindow','width=450,height=200')
imageWindow.focus()
}
I was experiencing the same problem and determined that the error was experienced when loading a pdf file. in the above case the user appears to be loading an image. The problem does not occur when simply loading html files.

I'm opening a new window with window.open() In the new window a file is loaded with the following post data function:
function ajaxPost(url,data){
$.post(url,data,
function(data){
alert(data)
[Code]....
If I call this function form within the new window everything is fine
- If I call it from the opener window the callback function is broken
- only in safari - ff works fine.

I'm relatively new to jQ and would like to determine if a named window is already open. If it is then I want to change focus to that window/tab. The scenario is this. I have a link in App1 that opens a new window to an already existing linked (related) web form in App2. If the user forgets they have that window open in App2 and clicks the same link in App1 as before (to open the related form in App2,) it opens a window that is not the same window as the original window. I need App1 to detect if a window already exists in the browser of the same name and if so, change the browser focus to it.

After open a child window, I would like to keep parent window on focus. I tried self.focus(), set new window in blur() as well as setting the setInterval, none of them works in either Firefox or IE. I think this question relates to the opening window in tab rather than in new window.

I'm using an <A> tag with an onclick event to open a window with JS (window.open)... In FIREFOX, if I click very quickly, multiple windows open. Not a problem in IE.

I'm having trouble with Safari. After i close a popup it does not focus on the parent window. I have been looking around and i think its this sort of thing i need 'javascript:window.opener.focus()" target="_self"' but tbh i'm not in anyway a javascript whizz, so im a little confused.
Here is my current code to close the child window
document.write("<input name='close' class='button popup' type='button' value='Close Window' onclick='window.close()' id='close'>"
So i need to somehow, add in the .opener thing to that.

There are 3 graphics (top left of page) which open a linked page in a pop up window; each popup comes into focus the first time it's opened - clicking on the same graphics again doesn't bring the already opened popups back into focus.I had originally sized each popup as 320x430px in the body at each of the 3 references to the linked pages, but discovered that (in FF portable 3.65.13) the popups all opened full-size windows. In an attempt to resolve this I removed the size info from each of these 3 page references (lines 84, 89, 94) and moved it to the head (line 67) which seems to have resolved the size issue, but works only when I specify the popup to be any size except the original size of 320x430 (e.g. 320x431; I have now settled for 321x431)

window.open() doesn't open an entirely new window in FF3.6, just a new tab
Edit: Yeah, ok, so if i specify a size smaller than the current standard window, it'll be forced to open a new window. but what if i want a new standard sized window to open entirely?

i'm trying to send a html page directly to the print preview and bypass opening it in a new window. i've found a good solution by having a frameset with 2 rows. the top row is relative while the bottom row is 1 pixel height (hidden at the bottom). the user clicks a print button in the main top frame and it loads the html page that needs to be printed in the bottom hidden frame. on the print file, i included:
<body onload="window.print();">
therefore, the code above initiates an instant print preview. the problem is that it doesn't work in safari (osx). instead of printing the specific frame that the page is in, it print the frameset at the _top of the browser window.i tried changing the location to this., parent.window, etc...but, none worked.

I need a script that will open a new window (popup / new link) in a specific size, but will also close the old window (where the popup came from). I know the popup window is easy but finding a work-able close window script as the new window is opened is impossible!!

I am trying to pop up a window and then do stuff(set flags) when the content of the new window is done loading. For this I am trying to detect the window.onload of the pop-up child window but so far I am unsuccessful. I believe my problem is that the URL of child window is on different domain, than the one of the opener(parent) so that the window.onload is not being called. Though this may change, at the moment I do not have access to the code for the page I'm opening up in the pop-up. Im pretty new to web development.

I need to open a popup window from a PHP site and pass in some parameters to use in the pop up window. I have the params in an input box and need to get the val of the box into a param and pass it to the new popup window. All pages are local and in the same folder. The id of the input box is 'ddutykey'. The name of the new window would be showduty.php if possible.

When creating a new window and specifying ANY features (on or off) at all like such:
<A HREF="javascript:void(0)"
onclick="window.open('NONE.php','welcome','toolbar=1,location=1,directories=1,status=1,menubar=1,resizable=1, scollbars=1')">
Open a new window</A> the new window does not have scrollbars even though scrollbars are necessary for my document (vertically, at least).
This problem occurs in Firefox and Internet Explorer 6. The problem does NOT occur if there are no features are specified.

I am trying to use the window.opener.location code from a link on my popup window to change the webpage in the window that opened my popup. It works on ie/firefox, but doesnt work on safari.
function changepage(id) {
window.opener.focus();
//window.opener.location('http://www.mysite.com/index.php?id='+id);
window.opener.location.pathname = 'index.php?id=' + id;
self.close();
return false;
}
Now i've tried the link with both <a href="#" changepage(35);"> and <a href="javascript:changepage(32);"> but safari doesnt want to touch the opener page. Do you know of any workaround/hack to get this to work? If not, is there a way to check to see if the user has safari and change the code to opening the page in a new window?

got an one that might prove interesting. I have a window that refuses to close in OSX/Safari 3.1 if it has any history.
Details:
I have an embedded flash app that offers links. These links will initiate a new window. I have little access to the working of the links, so I am assuming that they are using window.open and call the popup page.
So once the window is open, I have a link within that window to close it using an a tag that fires a js function which in turn uses self.close(); See code below. This works well in all cases. The problem comes into play under the following conditions:
1) Mac/Safari 3.1 (note that XP/Safari 3.1 does NOT produce the same issue)
2) Once the window is open, the user clicks a 2nd link from the Flash app, showing the selected html page and adding history to the popup window.
3) The user then tries to close the window, which now fails.
4) Any additional addition to the popups history yields the same results (as one might imagine).
I tried to use javascript to navigate back to the initial history point, and then run self.close. This sort of worked as I would revert back in the history stack with the first click, then the window would close on the second call to the close function. But I couldn't get it to work in one click. I did notice that adding an alert between the history rollback and the self.close() actually allowed this idea to work. So I tried a setTimeout, but did not have success. Seems like there's something there, but I guess I don't understand well enough to come up with the solution.
Code:
function self_close(){
self.close();
}
HTML Code:
<a href="#" onclick='javascript:self_close();return false;'>close</a>

I'm opening a new window with window.open in javascript and i'm keeping his reference to make focus on it or detect if the window is closed or not.My code is working well in Firefox and Chrome (execpt the window.focus, but there's already an issue in chromium: [URL]
In Safari window.open and window.focus works well. But window.closed has a strange behaviour. If I close the new window without navigating in it, window.closed works after closing the window. But if a navigate to another page, window.closed return false, even after closed the window.Is there a way to keep the reference on my new window event if the user navigate to another page ?
here is a sample of my code (I use jQuery 1.4.2):
Code:
MyBrowser = $.klass({
window_ref: null,
initialize: function() {
