In Options > Content > Advanced, do you have "Allow scripts to: raise or lower windows" checked?
Okay, great to know but, the point of self.focus or window.focus is to bring the window to the front with code and not require the user to change browser settings. Is there any other way around it? I have a site with all it's portfolio galleries loading into a the same self focusing window. I need the page to focus. Any ideas?

You should be able to call window.focus() on any window during an onclick event. Try doing that instead of using onload.
Ooops. not yet. I had my browser settings to "Allow scripts to raise or lower windows" I'm a bit of a novice with code.
This is my text linked code
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="MM_openBrWindow('arch_e_gal.html','','')">Exteriors</a>
do i want to add 'focus' here or within the Javascript 'MM_openBrWindow' function in my header?|

Either place should be fine; both happen "during" the click event as far as Firefox is concerned.
Okay... I found the workaround that is working for me. So far it works in Firefox 3(Mac and PC), IE 7, Safari 3(Mac), Opera 9.01(Mac), Flock, Netscape(7 Mac), Camino... It consistently loads a new browser window and brings it to focus in all above browsers (excluding IE when "open new window in a new tab" is selected in options). I position and size the new window within each page. What I really wanted fix - focus - and this does it.
HEAD CODE
var newwindow;
function MM_openBrWindow(url,winName,features)
{
newwindow=window.open(url,'name','toolbar=no,status=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()}
}
BODY CODE
<a href="test.html" onClick="MM_openBrWindow(this.href); return false;"> open page</a>

We're not going to make <body onload="javascript:window.focus();"> work for everyone, since it's often an annoyance, just like popup ads. Glad to know the fix for bug 355482 is working for you, allowing you to move the focus() call and get the effect you want.
