Attach a function to the onclick and onfocus event handlers which would do something like this:

function focusChild()
{
    if(my_window)
        my_window.focus();
}

Here my_window is a global variable which holds the reference to the newly created popup window. It follows that as long as the child window is alive it will the one given focus.

It is working for me which means you are doing something wrong. Post the updated code with code tags. Read the announcements and site rules to know about them without which getting help might be a bit difficult.

Though the above code works, it has some major problems.

◄ All the above files have a DOCTYPE declaration missing which is a bad thing causing the browser to go in quirks mode.
◄ Instead of directly attaching event listeners to event handlers, one should use addEventListener / attachEvent.
◄ Place all your Javascript in an external file instead of keeping it in each and every file.
◄ Make sure that you keep your tag names in lowercase.
