Function Window.focus Doesn't Work In IE (8, 9, 10, 11)

Post a Comment
Here is my code, and this code to open new tab and focus on it. If tab is not opened yet, I will open it with specify name. If tab is opened, I will focus on it by using window.fo

Solution 1:

It's a security feature in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/979954

Here are a couple of work arounds to try:

Giving a child window focus in IE8


Solution 2:

This will work once due to the security issues

$(function() {
  $('#btnOpenTab').on('click', function(){
    openTab('http://google.com.vn', 'GG');
  });
});

function openTab(url, tabNm) {
  var mTab = window.open("", tabNm);
  mTab.document.write('<body onload="window.focus(); location.replace(\''+url+'\')">Please wait...</body>');
  mTab.document.close();
}

It failed to run twice because once the page loads it is no longer same origin.

I tried with an iFrame, but Google blocks that too now
