Preserved Topic: check if the window is already open (Page 1 of 1)

well, guys, I thought I already read a topic about that subject and I serached, but nope, not found.
Anywho:
I am in this situation.
window A opens a new window named B, right;
window A moves back (.blur()) and B gets the attention (.focus());
(why am I using those ; all the time?)
Then I click back to window A and re-click on the link to open window B.
I want A to blur an B to focus again. some how it doesn't do that with my function here:

function newindow(url,name)
{
var nw=window.open(url,name);
nw=window.focus();
}

what's wrong or what am i missing?

I don't think you meant to say nw=window.focus(); I think you meant nw.focus(); instead. What nw=window.focus() does, is focuses the current window, and gives the return value of that function (which is probably "true" if the focus succeeded and "false" if it didn't) and puts it into nw, which isn't what you intended.

oh, I get it. it focuses the wrong window, huh?
ok, good thing you know what I intended, Slime. *g*
