Return focus to parent window w/ Javascript

[TruckStuff]

I'm not sure which forum this belongs in, so I'll just put it in general.

I've created a popup window that has the following "close window" function:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function closeWin()
{
 window.opener.focus();
 self.close();
}
-->
</script>

This works fine in IE, but it dies in Firefox. The error is "window.opener.focus is not a function." Ehhh... ok, so how do I return the focus to the parent window with Firefox? Been googling for a while and haven't found anything. Also tried window.opener.document.focus(); and

Code: Select all

...
var parentWin = window.opener;
parentWin.focus();
...

Every variation returns the same error. Any help is appreciated.

In both parent and child window include the Javascript

Code: Select all

function here() {
var O = window.opener
    if (O) O.here()
    else    {
        alert('Welcome Back')
        window.focus()}
}

Some browsers are uneasy with that code (asks if user if sure they want to do that)

I doubt the OP has been waiting 15 years
