New Windows from IE Browser Using Acrobat Professional 6.0

[Erin_Pitzer@adobeforums.com]

I'm trying to create links to other web pages in my PDF document. I want them to open up in a new window. The following will get it to open up in a new window, however the PDF document is the active window while the new window is placed behind the PDF document.

javascript:itemwindow=window.open('http://63.241.27.97/Publications/Pubs/pdf/10050.pdf', 'newwin','scrollbars=yes, status=no, resizable=yes,alwaysRaised=yes');itemwindow.docume nt.close()

Is there a way to get the new window to be on top?

Thanks in advance for your help.

itemwindow.focus()? Or whatever the equivalent is in Adobe's JS?

Tried itemwindow.focus() and that didn't work either.

Javascript:void...

These are the correct formats - if you do not get a new window there is something amiss with your syntax -

weblink

javascript:void(window.open('http://www.alQemy.com',''))

Button field JS action

getURL("javascript:void(window.open('http://www.alQemy.com',''))")

Has anyone gotten this to work? Every variation on javascript:void window.open that I've tried opens a new browswer window, but fails to bring it to the foreground automatically. If this functionality is not possible from Adobe Acrobat 6.0.1 is it planned for a future release? Please respond if you have information. Thanks.
