a javascript opens a new popup window containing enlarged images from a
photogallery, but the smaller one doesn't get focus when called the second time
but stays in the background. in netscape this works just as supposed (and also ie)
i have put the focus command both in the new body and in the calling script.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click a thumbnail. the first time the this works fine..
2.second time i click a thumb from the parent window the new small one stays in
the background
3.

Actual Results:  
the window reloads with the correct content, but stays in the back

Expected Results:  
well, is the focus command supported?

it does work for me, using win98, 2003011713.
Do you have "Raise or lower windows" checked under
preferences->Advanced->Scripts & plugins?

Using Mozilla trunk binary 2003010708 on WinNT.
Reassigning to Browser-General; this is not an engine issue.

I think Alfonso may have the answer. If I uncheck "Raise or lower windows" 
in Edit > Preferences->Advanced->Scripts & Plugins, I see the behavior
that Anna has described. But when this option is checked, the site
works perfectly for me.
