I have this ads on my webpage that popup whenever you go somewhere (obviously prett annoying ). So my question is: how can I make so the previous window I was at gets focus and the popup doesnt. My thoughts was on making it with the onLoad function after you popup the popup but its stops there.
View 3 RepliesI have a page where it accesses the same popup a couple times. When I click 'Help' it opens the popup then goes to the section. But, if i go back to the other page, and click another link to the popup which goes to another section, it doesn't re-focus on the popup window.
The sections are accessed by the '#SECTION' link...
Code:
<a href="javascript:helppage('help.htm#Section','title');">Help</a>
How can I focus on it when it goes to a new section when the popup is already open?
The crux of the problem is I only know if the popup *has been* opened,
but not if it *is* open. Therefore, the script doesn't know whether to
simply refocus, or whether to popup a fresh window.
Are these the only solutions?
* handle onerror in some creative way
* hidden frames
BTW, I do have the luxury of ignoring non IE 5.5+ browsers on this

I am working on a ASP.NET application and have some forms that require to be popped up and let the user edit information on them. These windows must stay in focus until closed, but I have having some issues implementing this.
We are targeting IE explorers and have tried the showModal() which is exactly what we require (as it forces the user to the window till complete) but the page cannot refresh/postback which is what we need.
I also tried the on blur = self.focus() but that doesnt work either as when I user clicks the textbox on that popup to update a datagrid the focus is taken off the textbox and to the window again.
What I'm trying to achieve it a popup window that has focus until complete and allows the window to refresh as it requires use to update & delete a datagrid. Any ideas?
I am using a standard html <form> to send data to a pop up calculating somthing.
I want all coming requests to go to the same window.
Quite easy with forms since we have the target attribute, thus target="calculating_window".
However future <form> submitted entries will appear in the "calculating_window" window, but keep behind the current active window (with the <form> formular). The user therefore cannot see new entries beeing calculated.
I tried working with a OnClick thing with the submit button and javascript focus(), but i just can't get i to work. Any suggestions?
I have an html button that calls & open another browser window on the onmouseup event, but once I close the popup new browser window my button has focus & is like selected.

I am trying to dynamically open a popup window but ie8 blocks it with the popup blocker. basically within a ajax fuction I have a confirm button and if the user clicks yes it opens a popup window. now I tried it with a javascript function but it got blocked, so I have tried it by creating a form with a button in it and instead of calling the popup function direct I call document.form.button.click and in the form my button has onclick"popup('<? echo url; ?>')" but this also is detected as a unwarranted popup and is blocked.
now I understand that the popup blocker works when a popup is called without user interaction, but allows popups on say button clicks. how can I get the popup to work
when a popup window appear, can I force users to focus on the popup
window "ONLY" that mean, if users don't close the popup window, they can't do
anything to other ie window (include close the opener window...etc)
I'm trying to get a popup to keep focus when it is re-clicked.
The script below is supposed to produce this exact behaviour,
however it doesn't work, at least on firefox 1.0.7 and moz 1.7.12
(linux kubuntu). It does work with konqueror....
I have an input element on a form. When I open a popup form and then close it, I try to put the focus back on my input element by using the focus() method. However, that fails and it doesn't get focus.When I press tab to get out of this input element, it takes several tries for it to get the tab event (since it wasn't focused, but how come it suddenly gets focus to respond later?)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I'm trying to create a control which when the mouse button gets
pressed on one div an absolute positioned div pops up in
place of the cursor. From there the cursor should interact with
the dialog before the mouse button is released. In other words
one element will catch onmousedown, display the popup, and
the popup element will catch onmouseup. This works fine in
IE as the popup automatically accepts following events,
but my problem is in Firefox.
In Firefox everything behind the popup
still receive events even though they can't be seen
(hidden by the popup). I have to release the mouse button and then
click on the popup again before it accepts the onmouseup event.
I also used a different cursor on the popup to see if Firefox
recognized it was there at all. Still the cursor doesn't change
until I release themouse button and move the cursor across
the popup element.
I've tried focus/blur, timeout delays, hiding the first element
(the one which receives onmousedown) but nothing works.
The only thing that works is hiding the entire body and then
using setTimeout to show the entire body again 1ms later.
Obviously though that is very ugly.
I've got this hidden div that pops up using jQuery when the login menu item is clicked.
<div class="entry-wrapper" id="reg-login" style="display:none;">
<div class="t"></div>

<div class="close">
<a href="index.php" class="spotlight-close"> </a>
</div> <!-- close -->
<div class="login">
<div> <!-- blank --> .....
What I'm trying to do is setting the input focus on the user_session_username text input and the code is not working. The div pops up but the focus is never put into the user_session_username edit field.
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)

I have a form that is in a popup window. I need the form to submit to the opener window. Is is possible to do that? The opener window is the main window so it is does not have a name and there are no framesets.

I am trying to insert the value of a variable gathered from a popup window as an option in a <select> menu on the main window. This is the code I have so far:
Code:
var newOption = document.createElement("option");
newOption.value = '<?=$userfile_name?>'
newOption.appendChild(document.createTextNode('<?=$userfile_name?>'));
select.insert(newOption);
How do I do the rest? I just want to add this new value to the end of the list.
I need the most efficient way of passing a variable from a parent window to a popup window.The reason i say "most efficient" is because i currently do it like this from the parent:[code]But this is inefficient because at times it randomly alerts "undefinded".Anyways, can someone tell me a more fail safe way to pass a var to a popup so that i will be able to access it 100% correctly.
how I can populate the value of an input field on a parent window from a selected item (of a form - listmenu) on a pop-up window? Basically, I need to pass the value of one form to another form located on a different page...
View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I use the following construct in the frame "main" for a link to an
extern site:
<A HREF="http://www.any.xy" TARGET="extern">
the Browser is creating the window "extern", loading the page
www.any.xy an setting the focus to "extern". But when I go return to
"main" without closing "extern", a click to an other link (e.g.
www.2nd_any.xy) on "main" does not setting the focus to "extern".
For setting the focus to "extern" in the second case, I have used the
following construct:
<A HREF="http://www.any.xy" TARGET="extern"
onClick="setTimeout('extern=window.open('','extern');fr emd.focus();',500);">

This construct has worked very well for a few years, but since about
one year, the sesult was the same as using
<A HREF="http://www.any.xy" TARGET="extern">
In this year, I have changed:
win 95 --> win 2000
modem 56k --> DSL
Netscape 4.5 --> Netscape 7.1
Can anybody tell me a possibility setting the focus to "extern" in the
second case? Is the changing of my configuration the reason, that the
construct has failed?
