Controlling the browser window through Javascript

Question

I have a web application that launches a url in other windows / tabs. I would like to check if a window / tab exists; if not, I want to create it yet, I would like to select it in the first position. I use:

wf=window.open(address, web_form_target, 'toolbar=1,scrollbars=1,location=1,statusbar=1,menubar=1,resizable=1,width=640,height=450');
if(wf!=null)
    wf.focus();

But this only happens for the first time (in IE, not in Firefox); if I create a new tab in the window when I call window.open (), nothing happens; if I close the window, it recreates it, but saves it in the icon ... Is there a way I can follow to get a good result?

Thanks in advance. Greetings, p.
