How to bring selenium browser to the front?

Question

if the browser window is in bg, then this line doesn\'t work.

from selenium import webdriver

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webd         


        

Answer 1

This is a complete hack, but it worked for me using IE, selenium remote driver in Windows 7.

driver.get("about:blank")  
driver.minimize_window()  
driver.maximize_window()  
driver.minimize_window()  
driver.maximize_window()  

I send a blank page, then minimize and maximize twice. It seems to result in the newly created IE having foreground focus.
