Help someone less smart than you! -Window Absolute positioning

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 16.2004

Don’t ask why, I know its horrible but my boss wants a window that opens full screen. Ok, no problem. Next he wants said maximized window to adjust its absolute position depending on where your windows toolbar is (you see, he puts it vertical along the left of the screen and the browser window opens using the correct available space but positions it at (0,0) hense, overlapping with the toolbar). Below is the code I’m using.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

<script language=”JavaScript1.2″>
<!–

top.window.moveTo(0,0);
if (document.all) {
top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
}
else if (document.layers||document.getElementById) {
if (top.window.outerHeight < screen.availHeight||top.window.outerWidth < screen.availWidth){
top.window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
top.window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth;
}
}
//–>
</script>

This code snippet is assuming (like me :p), that your future wife and thus your future father in law are worth it:[code=php]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var barWidth=35;
window.resizeTo(600,450);
function putWin(){
window.moveTo(barWidth,0);
if (document.all) {
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth-barWidth,screen.availHeight);
}
else if (document.layers||document.getElementById) {
if (window.outerHeight < screen.availHeight||window.outerWidth < screen.availWidth){
window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth-barWidth;
}
}
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="putWin()">
</body>
</html>[/code]Just play with the value of var barWidth to adjust it properly.

Cheers - Pit

You're welcome!

I really wonder, what that shall be good for. Clicking the taskbar would make the window lose focus and avoiding that with a script would be annoying...

Cheers - Pit
