Hello,

wondering if people can help me or if my way of thinking wont work. I am not a coder so i dont get to involved in writing, just learn as i go. Anyway

i have webpage 1 that refreshes every 5 mins. This page launches a popup.

 <script type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
  window.open(theURL,winName,features);
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body  önload="MM_openBrWindow('call_notice.html','CallWaiting','width=200,height=200')">"

No if this page is currently in the background the popup also appears in the background. i need this page to come to the foreground to notify the user that the pages has refreshed. Popup has the following code: 
<body onblur="self.focus()"  önload="self.focus()">
<p align="center" class="style1">You have a call. </p>
<p align="center" class="style1">Please close this window to continue.</p>
<p align="center" class="style1"> </p>
<form method="post">
  <div align="center">
    <input type="button" value="Continue" 
 önclick="window.close()">
  </div>
</form>

I have tried set.focus seen some setforegroundwindow, but cant it to work. seen z-order but that doesnt make sens to me.

any one got any ideas on how i can do it? or has something that monitors windows titles and executes something?

any help would be great. i dont write from scratch but take bits here and there just to let you now what type of person you are dealing with.
