I doubt that there is since that requires accessing the local machine and javascript is not supposed to be able to do that because it is considered a security risk.

Hi,<br />
<br />
Im using Java Script to open a new browser window using the following code:<br />
<br />
win = window.open(url,&quot;12345&quot;,&quot;w<wbr />idth=400,h<wbr />eight=200&quot;<wbr />).focus();<wbr /><br />
<br />
The issue is that I want the browser (Internet Explorer) to get focus, not only the page in the browser.<br />
<br />
Is there anyway to bring the actual browser to the front?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Bring Internet Explorer to front - Java Script

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems. Hypertext is structured text that uses logical links (hyperlinks) between nodes containing text. HTTP is the protocol to exchange or transfer hypertext. HTTP functions as a request-response protocol in the client-server computing model. HTTP is designed to permit intermediate network elements to improve or enable communications between clients and servers. HTTP is an application layer protocol designed within the framework of the Internet Protocol Suite; it presumes an underlying and reliable transport layer protocol.
