On iPad Safari, there seems to be issue with popup. When a popup (opened using window.open()) is closed, it remains in minimized mode (or grid view) after closing the popup...It
does not return focus to the parent window.
I have tried using parent.opener.focus(), but still does not work.
Is this a known iPad issue OR can we fix this issue using some JS code?
Please help.
I'm not sure if this would help, but just some personal experience on this issue:
Did you try going to iPad's Setting - Safari - Block Pop-ups? Try turning off Block Pop-ups, it should work.
If it still doesn't appear, try turning on the Debug Console for the ipad and check if any error appears during the popup event.
Try using a URL for window.open to be a local / same domain url address. I think that works (without needing to turn off the popup blocker in safari ipad).

I'm trying to create a "re-launch" button that should bring the user to an existing opened tab. So far, this is how it's implemented:
Using window.open() initially to create the tab and focusing to that tab using window.focus().
The relaunch button should basically call window.focus() and redirect to that tab.
This has been asked in $window.focus() doesn't work on existing tabs in iOS Safari but I'd like to get a more general overview on this question. I've looked everywhere but I couldn't find any lead to this question.
Apparently, it works in android browsers but I can't get it to work in ios browsers (safari, chrome). Does anyone have any clue about this issue?
This seems to be a bug in iOS browsers. As a workaround you may replace
focus() by a sequence of close() and open(...).
I'm trying to figure out how I could use window.open to open a window in Chrome without having this window displayed on top of the active window.
I'm using this:
_Top.window.open(myURL,myWindowID,'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=1,statusbar=1,menubar=0,alwaysLowered=yes,z-lock="yes",resizable=1,top=800,left='+pxLeft+',width='+myWidth+',height='+myHeight);
I'm trying with alwaysLowered, z-lock, ... but when used on Chrome, the new windows comes on top of the active window. It works in Firefox and IE but not on Chrome.
I also use:
_Top.window.blur();
Is there a parameter to achieve this or should I use something else for Chrome?
Thanks

I have a working implementation of full screen working for Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome. From what I have read it should work for ie with google chrome frame but when I click the full screen button I created nothing happens. Any ideas? Is it not yet supported?
$('#enable_fullscreen').click ->
calculate_presentation_font_size(height)
if docElm.requestFullscreen
docElm.requestFullscreen()
else if docElm.mozRequestFullScreen
docElm.mozRequestFullScreen()
else if docElm.webkitRequestFullScreen
docElm.webkitRequestFullScreen()
Putting an alert in the "webkitRequestFullScreen" if statement shows that it does go to this condition in chrome frame but docElem.webkitrequestFullScreen() is undefined.
I've build it and made it work from this examples.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/Using_full-screen_mode
The only things I can see missing from your code for the webkit condition is the parameter "Element.ALLOW_KEYBOARD_INPUT" to the webkitRequestFullScreen(Element.ALLOW_KEYBOARD_INPUT)
Unfortunately the main problem of chrome frame is the communication with the IE window that literally behave like a difficult child ;-)
For IE you can open a popup window in fullscreen mode by directly calling document.location.href for the source it will open the current page your are on
window.open(document.location.href, 'myAppfullscreen', 'fullscreen=1');
I have observed an issue or what seems like a bug on iPad Safari.
Basically I have a link to open a popup using the normal window.open() Javascript method. Now this works fine most of the times on iPad Safari, but on a few instances, it opens the child page in the same window (rather than a separate child window)
It happens once in like 25 tries.
Please let me know if this is a known iPad issue OR if you have observed this inconsistent behavior with popups on your pages.
Thank you.

Opening Popup Window is not working in firefox and google chrome
Hi,I have similar code in above question.My code works fine in IE.
this.parent.window.showModalDialog('Counter.aspx', '',
'dialogHeight:170px;dialogWidth:150px;status:no;scroll:no;edge:sunken;toolbar:0;center:on;help:off;unadorned:yes;');
What can i do about this code in order to open this window in Google Chrome browser ?
Thanks for any assistance

showModalDialog works in chrome(its not truly modal though). the problem could be that it is blocking them. Chrome's minimalistic design doesnt even tell you that some times. try adding an exception for you current website.
you can find it under -
Options->Under The Hood Tab-> Content Settings Button -> Popups Tab -> Exceptions button
