It is not possible – due to security concerns.

unless by “tab” you mean a window and a popup window that (due to browser preferences) opened up in a new tab. If this is the case, then yes you can.

//focus opener... from popup
window.opener.focus();

//focus popup... from opener
yourPopupName.focus();
