Maximising Windows 1

dkn · Mar 3, 2003

Hi

I have a reporting application that uses the target attribute of the FORM tag to open the results in a new window. However, the size of the window it opens seems to be random, loosley based on the size of the last window opened.

Is there any way of specifying that the window is to be maximised when opened?. I have used the javacript window.open from a link, and I can specify window size and position, but how do I do this from a button?

Any help greatly appreciated

Could try this ... call it when the page first opens

<script language="Javascript">
if (window.screen) {
var aw = screen.availWidth;
var ah = screen.availHeight;
window.moveTo(0, 0);
window.resizeTo(aw, ah);
}
</script>

I normally put this little script in the <head> of the page - works like a charm!
