screen availWidth and Height

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Could someone tell me why:

<script language=”javascript”>
<!–
document.write(screen.availHeight+”<br>”);
document.write(screen.availWidth);
–>
</script>

Will write the correct avail screen height and width but:
window.open(”,”,’width=screen.availWidth,height=screen.availHeight’)
will not open a window of those dimentions.
???

[color=darkblue]window.open('','','width='+screen.availWidth+',height='+screen.availHeight+'');[/color]

@Ice3TauthorMar 30.2003 — Could you explain what the extra +'s and single quotes mean and do and how I could substract 2px from it for example.

Thankx

@pyroMar 30.2003 — The extra quotation marks, and the +'s are needed to escape out of the original single quotes that you have to define the window width and height. The reason for this is because once you are inside the quotes, the script will ignore any code that you might put in there.

Check this out, to subtract 2px:

&lt;script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"&gt;

w = screen.availWidth-2;
h = screen.availHeight-2;

window.open('','','width='+w+',height='+h+'')
&lt;/script&gt;
