when you use window.open to create the pop-up, specify a width and/or a height.

On my computer when you do that the minimize/maximize button disappears.

window.open('myurl.html','window_name','width=640,height=480');

BTW, I don't know if this applies to all browsers. Also, I'm not sure if it's a quirk in my system or if that happens all the time.

I have IE 6.

Welcome.
Do you need it to work in a lot of different browsers or will IE 6 work for ya? I can test it in a few different ones I have.

KevinAr18,

The codes are not working.. Though the size of the window is stated, When i click on the MAX button, the window still expands to the full..

Ok, it must have been a quirk in my system. I had a windowblinds theme on and it may have cause that issue. That's why I said it might have been a quirk in my system cause I didn't remember it doing that in the past.

Ok, thanks to the help of posts on other sites I finally found what I was looking for:

All of this is IE ONLY.

It kind of does what you want, but with some problems/differences. The page that makes the pop-up cannot be closed. In addition the pop-up always remains in focus over the page that created it, however when you minimize the main page it will minimize the pop-up.


Test it for yourself:
There are two ways to do it:

//this method will not allow you to do anything to the opener window (the window that opened the pop-up) till you close the pop-up
window.showModalDialog('card.htm','','');

//this one will allow you to do stuff to both the pop-up and the original window.
window.showModelessDialog('card.htm','','');


The first URL I gave you was for showModalDialog. Here's the URL to showModelessDialog:

As a side note, you could also go for the fullscreen method in IE if that fits what you would need. Again all of this only works in IE.
