Focus a Window with self.focus in Javascript

Focus a Window with self.focus in Javascript

To focus a window with self.focus in Javascript:

<body onLoad="self.focus()">

-In the HTML body tag, we use Javacript's onLoad event handler.
-We call Javascript's built-in focus method. (The self property refers to the window we're in.)
-The window that contains this tag will come to the front when it loads... great for pop-up windows.

We could also simply put our call in Javascript tags like so:

<script type="text/javascript">
self.focus();
</script>

-In this scenario, we would get the same result of the window focusing when it loads, but we could also write this into a function to get different results.

Free Copy and Paste Javascript Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
self.focus();
</script>

<body onLoad="self.focus()">
