Can someone who knows Javascript help me modify the page
http://web4health.info/en/answers/psy-drug-interaction.htm so that the
two windows you can open by clicking on "interaction calculator"
and "medical dictionary" are shown both of them, and not one of them
hidden by the original web page you started from.

Sorry, what do you want to happen? Do you want both links to open in
the same "new" window? So if you click on the first link, a new window
opens, and if you then click on the second link, it loads into the
window containing the first link's page?

You want the two windows to be fully visible at the same time, not
overlapping or hidden behind one another, is that correct? And you
wish them both to stay on top of the original page until closed?

As it works now, if a person visits
http://web4health.info/en/answers/psy-drug-interaction.htm  and clicks
first on "interaction calculator"
and then clicks on "medical dictionary", then the first subwindow is
hidden behind the window you started with. I want both the two
subwindows visible. Of course it would be an extra benefit if they do
not overlap, bút that may not be possible, depends on the size of the
screen. I am happy if at least part of all three windows (start window
and two subwindows) are visible at the same time.

One solution, not very neat, would be that I create two pages of my
own, which include the pop-up-window content in frames within it. I
will try to do it that way, unless someone else has some better idea.

Someone seems to have removed the solution to my problem which was
posted earlier. Unfortunately I did not make a copy of it, I do not
understand why the answer has been deleted. It did contain a solution
which I might get working, by using frames in the pop-up-windows, but
now the answer is not there any more, and I did not make any copy of
it!

I never thought of the idea that the solution to my problem would be
removed from Google Answers! Otherwise I would have made a copy of it
before it disappeared!

JPalme,

I requested that my answer be removed because you indicated that it
would not solve your problem and I didn't want you to be billed for an
unhelpful answer. Here is the link to the FAQ code I posted in my
answer:

Q1338 How can I keep two popup windows in focus?

Here is the rest of the IRT.org Javascript Window FAQ. There may be
other snippets that will help you.

Another Researcher may provide the additional code you need to use the
window handles returned from window.open. I simply ran out of time to
work on this. I apologize for any inconvenience caused by withdrawing
my answer.

I have experimented a little with the Javascript code you suggested.
But it does not work. Its effect is to force this popup window to
always be in front, so that the user cannot even do something in any
other window.

What I want is the following:
When people click on "interaction calculator" a pop-up window opens.
When people after that click on "medicfal dictionary", then a second
pop-up window opens, and **after** that, the first pop-up window is
brought in focus.
