Check is window already open
When you go to a certain page on my website, it opens a popup window. If they minimize that window and go to another page then come back, I want it to check if the window is open or not. If it is open, it moves it to the top so it is viewable. If it is not open, it opens it. How can I do this?
The trouble with doing something right the first time is that nobody appreciates how difficult it was.

Sorry I dont know the answer but just wanted to mention now with so many pop up killers out there and browser options, like Opera6 being able to turn pop ups off by default, I wouldnt use pop ups for anything important if I was you.

Essentially, you name the window. Any window you create, you can control.
irt.org has lots of good javascript tutorials and sample code (look under javascript articles) that will help you program whatever you want with a popup window.

I'm not worried about the popup killers. The people this is for don't have them...they aren't allowed to. It's a big company so if one person has it, all have to have it.
I did give the window a name. The problem was when I left the page that opened it, it wouldn't work. If I stayed on that page it worked fine.

I was serious about the irt.org recommendation.

Well I read through irt.org and didn't see this before when I was there. Thanks for the link. That is going to work perfectly!
