How do I get a new target window to open maximized??

TheBigO · Mar 6, 2002

I am opening a new window from an ASP file but it only opens about 1/3 of the computer screen. Is there an HTML or ASP command that I can use to make it automatically open so that the new browser window fits the computer screen?

You should use a script to open a new window, like this:

fucntion newWindow() {
w = screen.availWidth;
h = screen.availHeight;
newWin = window.open('somepage.asp','','width=' + w + ',height=' + h);
}

Or use this script to resize the page after it is opened:

function fullWindow() {
if (window.screen) {
w = screen.availWidth;
h = screen.availHeight;
window.moveTo(0, 0);
window.resizeTo(w, h);
}
}

Activate it on onLoad event:
<body onLoad="fullWindow()">

Thanks. That worked like a charm.
