Can I Launch a New Window at a Fixed Width and Height?

@duderdude2Mar 11.2005

When a user clicks a link, can I have the window that launches open at a fixed width and height?

If so, how would I do that?

@misteralexanderMar 11.2005 — #Yes you can. You can do it with JavaScript & the "window.open" funtion.

[CODE]
 window.open("Sample.htm",null,
 "height=200,width=400,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no");
 [/CODE]

Go to:[URL]msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/open_0.asp[/URL] to read up on it in much detail.

@duderdude2authorMar 11.2005 — #Thanks, but is that the only way?

I'm leery of using Javascript for anything in case the user has it disabled. What would happen if a user who has javacript disabled clicked on the link?

The only way to have any control over the format of the new window, yes. As for disabled JavaScript, the window would just open as per usual -- if you code it as follows:

<i>
 </i>&lt;a href="link" target="_blank" onclick="javascript&amp;#58;
 window.open(this.href, this.target, 'width=300,height=200,resizable,scrollbars');
 return false;"&gt;text&lt;/a&gt;

@duderdude2authorMar 11.2005 — #Thanks, I checked out that page too, which is interesting.

Just one more question. Is there a way I could include a "close" button, in addition to the "X" in the top right of the browser window?

@phpnoviceMar 11.2005 — #Yes, but of course this won't work at all if JavaScript is disabled -- no graceful degraded functionality here. ?

<button type="button" onclick="javascript:top.close();">Close</button>
