[Chameleon] Window focus

[Jason Fournier]

This should do it..

===============================================
<script>

var wnd;

function spawnChild(szPage, szName, nWidth, nHeight)
{

   if( wnd )
   {
     alert( 'child already exists');
     wnd.focus();
   }
   else
   {
     wnd = window.open(szPage, 
szName,'width='+nWidth+',height='+nHeight+',directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes');
   }

}

</script>


<a href="javascript:spawnChild('test.html', 'ttt', 500, 500);">test me!</a>
=======================================================

The key is to have the var wnd outside the function (ie, global) so that 
you can reference it again without reinitializing.
