I have the same problem. I would expect that the window opened would get focus once loaded. I also expect the parent would regain focus on the close of the child. I have tried using focus() function to force focus on <a.> tags or window objects(fruitless). I am guessing focus() will work on <input> tags, thus causing bubbling bring the window into focus as well. Only a guess! I have not tried it. Buy the way if you could tell me how to show <tags> without using a period, I would appreciate.

On the return after closing the popup window this window does not get focus unless you click
somewhere on the page.

Script to open window via keyboard:
<!--
/* This code is for Safari: onkeypress does not fire for nav keys*/
document.documentElement.onkeydown = function(e) {
var iKeyCode = getKeyCode(e);
if (iKeyCode != 13) {return true};
var strFeatures =
",resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes" +
",toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no";
window.open("SAFto.html","SAFto",strFeatures);
};
function getKeyCode(e) {
var code = null;
if (!e) var e = window.event;
if (e.keyCode) code = e.keyCode;
else if (e.which) code = e.which;
//alert('Key Code: ' + code);
return code;
};
-->
