Web form to open in certain size browser window

[csdewan]

Hi all,

I have created a web form to get some user information. What I want to do is when the user opens the form on the website it opens in a new window and sets the size of the browser window. Has anyone got any ideas on the best way to do this?

Thanks

javascript popup windows.

Ideally, don't do it. As a user, if a website opened a new window and resized it and I didn't want it to, I'd probably leave your site.

If you decide to still open it, use the window.open event in javascript.

Yes, the window.open();

I also hate this way, with fixed size windows. I find it really annoying. I wold prefere to load the page in a frame, or in a content place holder, rather than using this technique with javascrit.

Here is an example:

mylink.href = "javascript:DiaryNotes=window.open('../DiaryNotes.aspx','DiaryNotes',
'toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,
menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=1,
width=600,height=200');DiaryNotes.focus();"

As the people above mentioned the window.open is the only way to do this.
