Background window popup

Question

I am opening up a new window popup and I want to keep it in background and keep focus on my current window. I am doing something like this but it doesn't work.

var currentWindow = window;
var newWindow = window.open("http://www.xyz.com");
currentWindow.focus();

I will appreciate suggestions or any kind of help.

Answer 1

If the window doesn't ever need to be seen, you could instead use a hidden iframe.

var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
iframe.src = "http://xyz.com";
iframe.style.display = "none";

Answer 2

You can blur the background window

var win = window.open('http://www.xyz.com');
win.blur();
window.focus();

This should work for you in the application
