Sizing a Web Page from Within

RoguePoet01 · Mar 31, 2004

Hello,

I found a neat little javascript that sizes a popup window according to certain specs, but it only works from the window making the call.

I'd like to let people link to one of my pages, but it looks best when it opens at 500x500.

How do I make it open at that size from within, so that it opens that way no matter where the link comes from.

Thanks.

You can use javascript to perform this action:

Code:

<body onLoad="window.resizeTo([blue]<width>[/blue], [blue]<height>[/blue]);">

Replace the <width> and <height> tags with the actual width and height.

However, I must caution you about doing this. You'll alienate many of your users if you do this. My suggestion would be to put the text "This page is best viewed in 500 by 500".

Good luck,
