Answer 1

I had the same problem, have spent a lot of time to find a solution, finally it works by this:

var singleWindow;
function openNewWindow(){
	if(singleWindow){
		singleWindow.close();
	}
	singleWindow = window.open ("url","winName","location=0,width=300,height=214");
}

This close the current window (if exist) and open a new window that will be placed on the top (default behavior)

Hope this help you !
