  How to focus a popup window from another aspx page?
  

  
  Hi .
  I have 3 aspx pages(used C#).
  A link in the first one creates a popup window.
  A link in the popup window opens a page with 2 frames in it, top and bottom.
  Now, I have a link in bottom frame of this page, which, when clicked , should give focus to the existing popup window.
  

  
  When creating the popup window, I used a reference to it like...
  newwin=window.open(...)
  I tried to pass this newwin as QUERYSTRING to all other ASPX pages.
  And in the last page, i.e.,bottom frame page, I used the code like..
  popup.focus() ---------- *
  where popup is set to querysttring variable.... Request.QueryString("popupwindowreference")
  

  
  The above procedure didnt work. it thows an error like...popup is undefined at line *
  

  
  Can anyone figure out what the problem is?
  Any help is grately appreciated!
  

  
  Thanks you.
