javascript_howto thread: detection and window control problems


Message #1 by "Albert Kiefer" <albert@s...> on Wed, 26 Sep 2001 10:59:01
Hi,

What I am trying to do is very simple. I want to open up a specific size 
window centered on screen at 800*600 with vertical scrollbars and 
nothing else. Nw a whole slew of problems shows up by the fact that 
it is seen by either IE or NN AND it varies on Macs and PC's also...

When the scrollbars are added on Mac NN the bottommost arrow to 
scroll down does not work and also it 'cuts' into the space that is 
reserved for my art work at 800*600.

So my question is what is a very very good way to detect both platform 
AND browser type for this. And how can I know which browser adds 
the scrollbar pixels to the size I enter and wich one actually subtracts 
(there even seem to be difference here between Mac and PC 
versions...)

One last thing. How can I navigate to a specific position on my page 
(Anchors do not seem to work since I use layers...)

For those who care to look:

Thanks in advance, even for references to where I could look up the 
needed info myself.
