how i can bring opened popup to front when multiple popups opened?

Hi expert,
Please help me.
I have two jsp's one.jsp , two.jsp.

In one.jsp i have few commandHelp links say commandHelp1, commandHelp2....

when i click commandHelp1 from one.jsp , the control goes to two.jsp with some command parameters.

I am using window.open from one.jsp to two.jsp(in which .swf is embedded) which opens flex page in two.jsp

so now, when i click commandHelp2 from one.jsp ,the current window will disappear and opens in another window.

Could you please let me know how i can see two command windows at a time and also when i click commandHelp1

Link, the opened commandHelp1 Link should come front.

I mean i want to see multiple windows(some kind of pop ups),and when i click particular opened command window

that should come front.

Right now , my code in one.jsp is
----------------------------------

var oneWin = '';
function open_window(urlString, winprops, winName) {
    if (!oneWin.closed && oneWin.location) {
        oneWin.location.href = urlString;
    } else {
       //oneWin=window.open(urlString,'IPAGDetail',winprops);
       oneWin=window.open(urlString,winName,winprops);
       if (!oneWin.opener){
           oneWin.opener = self;
       }
    }

    if (window.focus) {
        oneWin.focus();
    }
    return;
}

function command_help(id,name,type,c_type)
{
  var winprops = 'height=700,width=718,top=0,left=0,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=no';
  var urlString = "/flexappl/helpView/two.jsp?Id= " + id + "&Name=" + name + "&Type=" + type + "&cardT=" + c_type;
  open_window(urlString, winprops, 'helpView');
}

Open in new window

use this function

function lookAtTheChild()
{
try{newwindow.focus();}catch(e){};
}
document.onkeyup=lookAtTheChild;
document.onmousedown=lookAtTheChild;
document.onmousemove=lookAtTheChild;

or alone use this

inside the script

document.onkeyup=lookAtTheChild;
document.onmousedown=lookAtTheChild;
document.onmousemove=lookAtTheChild;

Hi Expert,
I added your code in script block. But i do not see any change(not opening new window for commandHelp2 ). Could you please let me know where i am wrong?

I modified like this  in one.jsp:
----------------------------------

var oneWin = '';
function open_window(urlString, winprops, winName) {
    if (!oneWin.closed && oneWin.location) {
        oneWin.location.href = urlString;
    } else {
       oneWin=window.open(urlString,winName,winprops);
       if (!oneWin.opener){
           oneWin.opener = self;
       }
    }

    if (window.focus) {
       // oneWin.focus();
      document.onkeyup=lookAtTheChild;
      document.onmousedown=lookAtTheChild;
      document.onmousemove=lookAtTheChild; 
    }
    return;
}

function lookAtTheChild()
{
      try{newwindow.focus();}catch(e){};
}

function command_help(id,name,type,c_type)
{
  var winprops = 'height=700,width=718,top=0,left=0,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=no';
  var urlString = "/flexappl/helpView/two.jsp?Id= " + id + "&Name=" + name + "&Type=" + type + "&cardT=" + c_type;
  open_window(urlString, winprops, 'helpView');
}

Hi Expert,

I think i might have confused you.
The issue is , it is opening in same window. The requirement is to open in multiple windows instead of one.

Or the simple way is jsut fous in the popup window !!

put this inside the else condition

if (window.focus) {
oneWin.focus();

}

var oneWin = '';    
function open_window(urlString, winprops, winName) {    
    if (!oneWin.closed && oneWin.location) {    
        oneWin.location.href = urlString;    
    } else {    
       oneWin=window.open(urlString,winName,winprops);  
       if (window.focus) {    
              oneWin.focus();    
         }    
  
       if (!oneWin.opener){    
           oneWin.opener = self;    
       }    
    }    
    
        return;    
}

I got some information like if we give winname attribute ' ' in window.open(), then opens in multiple windows.

I tried , but not solved my problem.
Any ideas?
