How do I make a tabbed page show via Javascript or HTML when link clicked?

I have a page with dynamically created links via PHP. One of these links loads a named page (if not already loaded, via HTML or Javascript). If the page is already in a tab then clicking the link causes the page to reload but the page does not show unless I click on the tab. How can I force the tabbed page to show (already loaded) when the link is clicked? I've tried using the Javascript window.focus() method but it does not solve the problem. This issue does not happen with the Safari browser.
