On Top Popup Window

[meztec]

I have a link
<a href="doc.pdf" onClick="javascriptopenWindow('doc.html')">

This works fine.

It loads the pdf into the window and pops up my window.

But after the PDF is loaded the popup window is not on top, where I would like it.

How can I acheive these results??

window objects have a
focus
method for that so
window.focus()
brings the current window to the front,
var win = open ('whatever.html', 'windowName');
...
win.focus();
brings the window with reference win to the front.

I got an error when trying to open your link so I will post a bit of code explaining what you were showing him Marshall.

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="openWin('doc.pdf')">link</a>

in your head

function openWin(doc){
    var win=window.open(doc,"winname");
    win.focus();
}

That should work and will also allow you to reuse the code elsewhere
