open the timer in front of any existing browser windows
when the i open a new timer window, in firefox at least, it opens behind the current browser window, and it is not apparent if anything has happened at all. can you focus() on the new window after it has opened so that it appears in front?

Here is the full bookmarklet code that works for me (copy+paste all betw. ---- in 1 line and save it as bookmark):
----
javascript:newwindow=window.open('http://www.slimtimer.com/client/','',
'resizable=1,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,width=235,height=450');
T=setTimeout('newwindow.focus()',50);void(0);
----

I am out of votes but this has always puzzled me. Should not be too hard to fix this. Though, Last time I tried it myself a mere "focus()" did not help in FF, but "setTimeout('mypopup.focus()',50)" did. HTH.
