This example demonstrates how to use the setActive method between windows. By clicking the 'SetActive' button in the left window, the method sets the 'Second Button' as the active object in the right window, though the object does not receive focus. The object only receives focus when its page receives focus. To confirm that the object is active, click on the right window's title bar. The button appears to be selected.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>

"oWin1",
"top=10px,left=480px,height=375px,width=200px,resizable=1");
//Set focus back to the parent window.
this.focus();
}
function fnBottomActive(){
//Set the object with ID=btnLarger active in the other window.
window.parent.oWin1.secondButton.setActive();
}
