Set browser window size 2

fizzak · Mar 8, 2004

I'm full of questions today!

I would like my site to open at a set size, thus resetting the users window to 640x480 or whatever I set. I've seen some scripts that open full screen. I know very little about java but I can back-engineer it pretty well. Is it possible to edit those? Or is this a whole different thing?
I've done quite a bit of searching through the java sites to find this but no luck.

Thanks

You will have more luck if you look in the javascript sites and forums... Javascript is a scripting language you can use to control a browser... Java is a programming language that you can use to write programs (loosely speaking).

The approach is to set an onload event to the index.html page, and once it has loaded, force the browser to resize to the desired dimension (take into consideration the scroll bars and tickers etc before you decide on this width and height).

Here is a suggestion:

Code:

<body onload="window.resizeTo(640,480)">

I'm sure there are other techniques that people use.
