Add component to pop up window function

Hi,

I have a javascript function as well as a javascript embedded directly into HTML. What I have been trying to do is merge one component - winref.focus(); - of the embedded javascript into the function so that I can use it over and over again.

This winref.focus(); component brings the focus back to the pop up window when a user clicks on a button that triggers the pop up window function.

__________________________________________
here is the function


function openTipsExamples() {
popupWin = window.open('../EORightElements/Chapter_3_01_TipsExamples.htm',
'open_window', 'scrollbars,resizable,dependent,width=590,height=400,left=0,top=0')
}
___________________________________________

Here is the embedded javascript in HTML

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:winref=window.open('adoptframe.htm','adoptframe','left=20,top=20,width=775,height=575,men ubar=1,status=0,location=0,scrollbars=1,toolbar=1,resizable=1');winref.focus();">Adoptions Listings</a>
_______________________________________________

So far I haven't been successful. The embedded javascript in HTML works just fine but I know there is some way to incorporate this into the function.

If you have any ideas, please advise.

Thanks,
Tanya

Are you trying to get rid of the "embedded" javascript? If so try this:

function openTipsExamples(page) {
popupWin = window.open(page,
'open_window', 'scrollbars,resizable,dependent,width=590,height=400,left=0,top=0')
popupWin.focus()
}


Then in the link do this:

<a href="javascript:openTipsExamples('adoptframe.htm')">Adoptions Listings</a>

This is what I was looking to do. I'll play with the code you gave me.

Thanks,
Tanya
