He was wanting to create a "remote control" for a pictures page so that he could click buttons on the remote and a picture would appear in another window. He asked me if he could just put a target="picturewindow" in all the links on the remote so that when he clicked on a button on the remote the corresponding picture would open in the picture window. He thinks it would work and that when the first button was clicked it would just open a new window that could be used over and over. I've never tried anything like that so I had no idea how it would work. Would there be any issues with that method?

On the other hand, if you want to use JS to open windows, you can use timer to focus window after some period of time, like this: <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript" LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> <!-- ; // Written by mr.maX, http://www.maxworld.co.yu/ function _window(fileURL, windowName, winWidth, winHeight) { var top = (screen.availheight - winHeight)/2; var left = (screen.availwidth - winWidth)/2; newWin = window.open(fileURL, windowName, "toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width="+winWidth+",height="+winHeight+",left="+left+",top="+top); newWin.moveTo(left, top); setTimeout("newWin.focus()", 2500); } // --> </SCRIPT>
