hpw to specify browser window size?? 1

SaltyDuke · Oct 4, 2002

Hello everyone

i'm a webmaster who has been charged with the task of doing a little HTML code for a webpage. only problem is i'm a little rusty with HTML...

i have the following piece of code:

<a href="

http://www.mywebsite.com/newWin.html"

target="NewWin">
Click here to open a new browser window
</a>
This has the effect of displaying the link in a new browser window (duh!). But is it possible to set the SIZE of this new window as well?? if so, is that done in the new file (newWin.html), or is it done using another tag etc???

i know it's probably a remedial issue to most of you but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

There are a few ways:

1.
Replace <body> with <body onload="self.resizeTo(600,300);"> in the page being loaded.

2.
Open the window like this:

<a href="#" onclick="window.open("NewWin.html","I'm The New Window","width=600,height=300&quot

;return false;">New Window</a>
