Keeping pages on top focus

[ranosb]

Greetings to all,

My page has an image map divided into sections, clicking on any section opens a new html page all with the same name 'popup',
(window.open('1C.html', 'popup'),
with that section image enlarged.

So only 2 windows will be open maximum.

Since each clicked page loads into the same page name, how do I keep subsequent new clicked image page loads focus on top?

A new window automatically gets focus, but when a new page loads into the same window, it does not...

well with Fx use in the window.open the dialog=1 Not to sure In IE perhaps zlock the back page???

Okay, if that cant be done then how about I close the previous window(if open) and open a new window.
Just have to close the window by name...

only script Opened windows can be closed

windowsnamehere.close();
and it IS possible or here is an alternate that will lock the back window.
in the body tag of the opener onFocus="changeView();"

in script

function changeView()
{
if(windownamehere.document)
windownamehere.focus();
}
