Answer 1

A:

You might try this. Not sure if it will work though>

var isIE = (navigator.appName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer");
var hasFocus = true;
var active_element;

function setFocusEvents()   {
    active_element = document.activeElement;
    if (isIE) {
     document.onfocusout = function() { onWindowBlur();       }
     document.onfocusin = function()  { onWindowFocus();     }
    } else {
     window.onblur = function()   { onWindowBlur();          }
     window.onfocus = function()  { onWindowFocus();       }
    }
}

function onWindowFocus()    {
    hasFocus = true;
}

function onWindowBlur() {
    if (active_element != document.activeElement) {
     active_element = document.activeElement;
     return;
    }
    hasFocus = false;
}

Answer 2

A:

Yeah I can't test this on IE8 at the moment either but have a play with this document.ready method instead of the body.onload:

test1.html:

<html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  <script type="text/javascript"> 
   function openNewWindow()
   {
    window.open("test2.html", null, "height=200, width=200");
   }
  </script>
    </head>
    <body>                        
        <a onclick="openNewWindow()">Open</a>
   </body>
</html>

test2.html:

<html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  <script type="text/javascript"> 
   $(document).ready(function(){ window.focus(); });
  </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="container" style="background:blue;height:200px;width:300px">
        </div>
   </body>
</html>
