The "Meta Refresh Tag" method
Hi,
Scenario:
1- User fills in form.
2- On submit is redirected to po-up confirmation page which is refreshed with new html page (requiring resizing of that op-up to fullscreen.
In other words:
I'm trying to redirect the end-user to another page after 10sec. the problem is that this is called in a pop-up window with set dimensions, and no scrollbars, toolbars etc.
The page I'm redirecting to has to be in "full-size" window.
My question is; How can I tell the pop-up window to resize itself to accomodate the new page?
Thanks for all your help,
nancy

To resize a window to fill the screen, use this:
window.resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);
HTH!

Thanks Snib!
Can I also re-call the toolbars, scrollbars, etc (like the default browser properties) ?

Nope. Your best option is probably to not take those features away in the first place.
BTW, this 10 seconds redirection... Me, I close thank-you popups and the like in half a second. Probably most people will never get to the second page.

Snib, I'm confused as to where the recommended snippet of code goes??
Here's my Meta "refresh" portion:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="10;URL=http://www.mycompany.ca/mydirectory/myfile.asp">
How does the javascript fit in? Or does it?
Thanks again, Snib.

In the next page, the one that you're redirecting to, place the code I gave you in <script type='text/javascript'></script> tags in the <head> element.
HTH!
