Newbie - How to configure a default window size

burton · Aug 30, 2000

Hi,

I'm writing my first web page. And would like to set the default size for the window. I'm not sure if I can use html or will need a javascript. At the moment it will only contain 2 images. Both less than 800 width.

So I would like fix the window size at say 500 x 500. For use by both IE and Netscape. Is this possible, if so could somebody please advise.

Many thanks

Burton

What do you mean by "default" size?
You of cause can do the following:

Code:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function resizeMe()
{
  if((window.outerHeight!=500)||(window.outerWidth!=500))
    window.resizeTo(500,500);
}
</script>
<body onload=&quot;resizeMe()&quot;>

and it will work in both browsers (version >=4). But I can predict that you visitors will be very upset.

Michael,

I have just put this code into a test page and it works - no surprise - but I also want to know the size of the window and use it, so I am trying to do alert(window.outerHeight); but I am getting undefined.

Do you know why this is happening??
