How can I make certain a window will "come to the front" when it is loaded?
Put this as early in the <head> of the page as possible:
<script>
self.focus();
</script>Alternately you can add onload="self.focus();" to the body tag, like this:
<body onload="self.focus();">
As soon as the window is fully loaded, it will "take focus" and move in front of any other open windows.
