I have a link on my site that opens a new window to a page that plays a very long audio file. My current script works fine to open the page and not refresh if the link is cl
Thanks to Stan and http://ektaraval.blogspot.ca/2011/05/how-to-set-focus-to-child-window.html
My solution creates a breakout pop-up mp3 player that remains active site wide and only refreshes if the window is not open prior to clicking the link button
function OpenWindow(){
var targetWin = window.open('','winPop', 'sample-options');
if(targetWin.location == 'about:blank'){
//create new
targetWin.location.href = 'http://site/megaplayer';
targetWin.focus();
} else {
//give it focus (in case it got burried)
targetWin.focus();
}
}
