If I understand you:Every time you click a button, a unique window opens. This could create 50 windows! What you want is for the window to open exactly once, and then every click puts new content in the existing window. Yes? This is easy. Pass a name for your window (not a target, like _top) in the second argument of window.open(). Don't just pass an empty string, the way you are doing now.To bring a window to the front, call window.focus()

Try adding orwindow.focus(); to the end of that function.
