Yeah, a pop-up window. Not an alert window, or confirm window though.
I have a working version, but it uses a fixed-sized window.
But what I was looking for was a way to find the size (being the height
and width) of the pop-up window.
Below is the script that I was talking about.
*BEGIN SNIPPET*
<script language="javascript">
<!--
var screenWidth, screenHeight;
var myHeight = 480;
var myWidth = 640;
function windowLoad()
{
var theWindow = window.open("blank.html", "", "height=" + myHeight
+ ", width=" + myWidth + "");
moveWindow(theWindow);
}
function findScreenRes()
{
var screenInfo = parent.screen;
screenWidth = screenInfo.width;
screenHeight = screenInfo.height;
}
function moveWindow(thisWindow)
{
findScreenRes();
var xWindowPos = (screenWidth / 2) - (myWidth / 2);
var yWindowPos = (screenHeight / 2) - (myHeight / 2);
thisWindow.moveTo(xWindowPos, yWindowPos);
}
//-->
</script>
*END SNIPPET*

I thought you wanted the popup to appear right in the middle of the screen?

The screen.(width/height) get the screen res.
What I was looking for was the width and height of a window.
Thanks though.

Hi,
I'm trying to write a script that centers a pop-up window in the middle of
the viewer's screen, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the window
dimensions for the pop-up.
I thought it would be something like window.width, window.height... but,
no dice.
Anyone have any ideas?
