Keeping a pop-up window on top that is a .jpg link

message from Sven N. on 16 Jul 2004
This question regards a site where the client will update the content using
Contibute, so I am trying to keep things simple for them.

I have three thumbnails on the page with links to a pop-up windows using the
Open Browser Window Behaviour. The pop-up windows are only links to larger size
images, so the URL is something like "../images/bigger-image.jpg", NOT
"../images/bigger-image.html". That way they don't have to create a new pop-up
page for each image they add.

The problem now is how do I pass on something that focuses the pop-up window,
so that it stays on top. Remember, I can't put anything like:

<!--
if (window.focus) {
self.focus();
}
//-->

into the HTML of the pop-up window, because I am not linking to a HTML
document, but just an image.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot

- Sven

You can't if you are just opening an image.

Can't do it you could use the onblur object and set focus but it is not reliable and not cross browser compatable.

That's wrong. The link is opening a jpg image. There would be no place to
put code when it's just a linked image.
