I am trying to figure a way to make a button that when clicked will minimize the current window. Is there a javascript command that will do this?

@GollumMay 14.2003 — I'm pretty sure there isn't one. The reason being to prevent security attacks using code running in windows hidden to the user.

The best you can do is call window.blur() which will on some platforms send the window to the bottom of the window stack.

i.e. at the bottom of the screen

window.resizeTo(Width, Height)

to move the window:

window.moveTo(x, y)
