on a main window execute the javascript:

mywin = window.open("www...", "wName", "height=500, width=600);
this bring up the window mywin on top.

in the mywin window click on the link:

<a href=javascript:window.opener.focus()>return</a>
the parent window receives the focus, but don't change his zOrder to the top position.

Reproducible: Always

Can you attach a testcase here? In general, focus() appears to raise the window on Windows XP, 2.0 nightly for me.

the SwitchFocus.zip File contains two files who demonstrate the problem with window.opener.focus()

Thanks. So this doesn't work only if the "Raise or lower windows" option (dom.disable_window_flip) is set to true, which is default.

okay, this may end up invalid, but I'm not sure myself how disable_window_flip is supposed to interact with *opener*.focus().

Hello,

Please note that Firefox 1.5.x is no longer being developped, maintained, "is no longer supported with security and stability updates" since mid-july 2007. Please upgrade to Firefox 2
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

Also, since there has been a similar bug for Firefox 2, I'm going to resolve this bug as a duplicate of bug 355482

Cheers, Gérard
