How can I detect in javascript if a user has set "raise or lower windows" javascript option off?

I am working on an application and include a feature that allows users to hide a window by calling the javascript "focus" method. However, this does not work in Firefox when the user has the "raise or lower windows" setting turned off. Not a big deal, but it seems as if there is no way to detect this via javascript so I can gracefully handle the situation for my users (e.g. send them a message that their browser will not allow that to occur).

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.
