I've got a page that must open a popup window on another domain. When the link is clicked on the original page I'd liek it to focus on the new window if it's open, and open it if it's not.
This code works in Chrome, but I get nothing for Firefox or IE.
var win=null;
function pop(){
if(win!== null && !win.closed) {
//If it's already open, just focus on it
win.focus();
}else {
//Otherwise, make a new window and go to it
win= window.open("http://google.com");
}
}
Demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/T7PUN/
Any ideas on how to achieve this across all browsers?
EDIT
This doesn't seem like the greatest solution, but it works. Chrome seems to support focusing on the window, while the other browsers don't. So for other browser closing and re-opening the window seems to work and have the same end result. I know it's not the greatest.
var win=null;
function pop(url){
if(win!== null && !win.closed) {
if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Chrome")>0) {
//If it's already open, just focus on it
win.focus();
}else {
//LAME
win.close();
win= window.open(url);
}
}else {
//Otherwise, make a new window and go to it
win= window.open(url);
}
}
