I am not too experienced in this area but I will have a look around a see if I can find some more info on window.open()

Best bet is to check irt.org. Last time I visited that site there were hundreds of scripts.

When can you and when can't you use (windowname).focus()?
I've had problems using it to bring forward windows that I have previously opened in Internet Explorer but not in Netscape..

This was what I was trying to do:
function pop(url) {
popup = window.open(url,"popupwindow","width=300,height=400");
popup.focus();
}
IE gave me an "access denied" error. I tried several variations too. Netscape was a-okay, however.

Try using something like WINDOWNAME.focus(). I have not checked if this works but I'm sure the focus() command is what you will use.
