set size of window on load

SoC · September 14th, 2004, 12:33 AM

Hi,

I'm opening a new window(target= "_blank") from a submit button. I would like to be able to set the size of this new window.

I know how to do it with javascript on a standard hyperlink, but I'm not sure how to do it when using a submit button.

Can I set the size of the new page from within that new page?

That is, instead of setting the size using javascript on the parent page, you set the size of the child page from within the child page.

I hope that makes sense. Alternatively, is there a way of using the javascript with the submit button?

cheers
s

Dear here is a java script function which will open a new window

function ak_help()
    {
        showModalDialog(subdirectory + "help1.html", "", "dialogHeight:300px; dialogWidth: 400px; scroll: no; status: no; help: no;");
    }

Hi s,

You can do it with

Code:

window.resizeTo(xValue, yValue);

HTH,

Cheers,

I worked out how to do it - I used window.resizeTo as ChrisScott also suggested.
Here's the code for anyone interested:

<script language="JavaScript">
function setSize(){
window.resizeTo(300,300);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="setSize();">
