setting min-width for resizing browser

[shades44]

Hi, i was wondering does anyone know how to set the minimum width a user can resize their window to? i dont want it to be resized to less than 400px say.. using javascript or whatever..

Something like this?

function checkSize()
{
  if (screen.innerWidth < 400)
  {
    resizeTo(400, screen.innerHeight);
    alert("To small!");
  }
}

window.onresize = checkSize;

--Chessbot

alert("To[red]o[/red] small!");

im not sure where you got 'screen.innerWidth' because it's undefined for me and i'm using IE6.. are you sure that attribute exists? and if it does is it not only measuring the width of the screen (not the browser)?

Try

screen.availWidth

--Chessbot

[tt]screen.width[/tt] works in most browsers.

Doesn't that give you the width of the entire monitor?

yes, was I not paying attention? If that's the case, you'd need a window property, not a screen property.
