Need a tiny tweak in this code

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hey everyone

I have this code to resize my browser window:

function init()
{
window.resizeBy(955 – window.innerWidth, 537 – window.innerHeight)
}

Question is:

Can I have this code only work the first time this page is opened (this is on the index page) ? So as the user goes through all the other pages and if eventually he/she resizes the window back to whatever position he/she wants and THEN goes back to the index it doesn’t change the window size again! Is is possible? If so how?

Thanks in advance,
T

@Declan1991Feb 11.2009 — Well it won't resize everyone's browser, such functionality is disabled by default (I think) in Firefox, and is easy to disable if not. So is this a design feature or is it just a desire?

To refer to the question, every time the index page is loaded, it should work, provided that the browser allows it, which as I've said, is becoming more and more unlikely.

@tcabacoauthorFeb 11.2009 — Well, this is just for presentation purposes, if when first opened it changes to that position - again for the sake of the presentation - it will just look better.

And it works in the browser that we're using, and yes it is Firefox. Now I believe you miss understood our goal. When we open the web site it will resize, it does, and that's ok. And now the user is surfing through the web-site, clicking on links and he/she decides to resize the page, make it bigger.. Well what I need is that IF the user goes back to the index/main/home page, while surfing the web site, that it doesn't resize the window again automatically..

So basically we would like to have that code work - which it does - but only ONCE, only the first time the window is opened, then it deactivates or doesn't work anymore.

Is that doable?

Again thanks for your quick reply!!

@Chris_CrewFeb 12.2009 — Ain't sure on coding involved but mostly like gonna need to set someone like a cookie when they go to the index the first time.

So that if they go back to index a check can be made to see if the cookie is present and if it is don't run code

Success!
