I tried something but it had the same result - I used window.open() and a .click() event.

I don't see the behavior with Firefox - windows open in front. The client uses IE exclusively, however

Hello,

I should investigate more deeper this behavior. Short, if you click on some element in the table and this element has href attribute the click function direct return true. I'm not sure if this is the right way.

Thank you

Regards

Tony

Is anyone else having this problem? When I have a grid and the data contains links with a target of '_blank', the new window opens behind the window containing the grid.

To be more accurate, the window seems to open in front but the grid window instantly pops itself over that window.

My guess is that some javascript processing in the grid or in jQuery fires off and affects the z-order. My links have only the href attribute, no javascript attached to them.

This is with jQuery 1.2.6 and jGrid 3.3. And IE 6 on win2k and IE on Vista (not sure the version of that). I had never seen it myself because I was set up for tabbed browsers, but a client reported it.

At this point, I'm trying to find out if it's just me or if anyone else noticed this?
