Can you share your code.

code at Parent Page:
Java script Function:
function popitup(url) {
newwindow = window.open(url, 'name', 'height=200,width=150');
if (window.focus) { newwindow.focus() }
return false;

window.moveTo(0, 0);
window.resizeTo(screen.width, screen.height);

}
onclick="popitup('ChildPopUp.aspx')"

Code at Child Page:
JavaScript Function:
function SwitchToParent() {
window.opener.focus();
}
onclick="SwitchToParent();"

it works on IE but not at crome and firefox
