+1  Q: 

Managing browser window focus

  • Parent window opens a child window.
  • User toggles to Parent window.

Can a button/link in the Parent window bring the child window into focus? (I tried a quick and dirty test and it worked in Safari in OSX...and it works) Will this work across Grade A browsers?

If the parent window is closed...

Can another window target the child and bring it into focus? Can another window close the orphaned child window?
