Resizing browser window if less than a specific size

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 17.2005

What I would like to do is create a function where if the window size is less than 800 x 600, then the window gets resized to 800 x 600.
If it is greater or equal to that, nothing happens.
If possible, I need it to work on IE and Netscape.

Thanks.

@felgallJun 17.2005 — Resizing the browser window to that size is only possible where:

  • 1. Your javascript opened the window in the first place and

  • 2. The screen is at least 850 x 700 so that the browser window will fit along with the other items that always take up space on the screen.

    @stc60authorJun 18.2005 — The script I use now is:

    function maxWindow(){

    if (document.all) {

    intwidth=window.screen.availWidth;

    intheight=window.screen.availHeight;

    }else {

    intwidth=800;

    intheight=600;

    }

    window.moveTo(0,0);

    window.resizeTo(intwidth,intheight);

    }
    ----------------------------


    The problem is, it maximizes the window in IE, and in

    Netscape it does indeed resize it to 800 x 600.

    (But obviously that is annoying if it is bigger to begin width)

    I was just wondering if all I need is an if-then statement involving

    inequalities to only resize the window only if it

    is less than 800 x 600.

    @felgallJun 18.2005 — Current available area within browser window (excluding the browser "chrome").

    [b]function pageWidth() {return window.innerWidth != null? window.innerWidth: document.body != null? document.body.clientWidth:null;}

    function pageHeight() {return window.innerHeight != null? window.innerHeight: document.body != null? document.body.clientHeight:null;}[/b]

    current actual screen size in all browsers (excluding start bar etc)

    [b]screen.availWidth[/b] and [b]screen.availHeight[/b]

    Actual browser size (not supported by IE)

    [b]screen.outerWidth[/b] and [b]screen.outerHeight[/b]

    For IE you could work out the extra space required for the browser itself and add that to the interior size.

    Success!
