Keep focus on window

Hi,

Given the following example, how do i keep the focus on the current page after a user clicks on the link. In other words the link should open but the focus should remain on the current page.
I tried using the window.focus function but for some reason this does not work.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE></TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
KEEP ME IN FOCUS<BR>
<A HREF="http://www.google.com" TARGET="_blank">Link</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Open in new window

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Nebu

                   $(window).focus();
                
                   return false;
