HI!


I'm looking for a way so that when a button is pressed and a new page loads into the SAME window, the window can be resized to a specific size

so here's my link:

<A Href="newmemberprompt.html" Target="_self">BECOME A MEMBER</A>


can i add something so that when "newmemberprompt.html" loads, the window can be resized?



thanks a million !

replace the body tag of the page tha you want to open with the one below,change the parameters as desired
first paramter is width
second is height

<body onload="window.resizeTo(400,200);">

Interesting... this works fine, but in Explorer on a PC, the sizes I'm requesting don't appear to be the same as the result on Explorer on a MAC.

Explorer on the PC interprets the width and height values as smaller than they should be. My HTML page is just a flash (.swf) file that is width=300 height=200, but it gets chopped off.. but on a MAC, it fits perfectly.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

You might have to do an OS detection and set the size according to the OS.
For the email,check your forums user settings( its a small button towards top left that says "user cp") and make it so that you do not get emails when your post get a response,

okay.. I don't suppose you know how to do apply a browser detection?

thanks for your help!

one more question for you.. this works (besides) the issue described above) in all browsers except Netscape on MACs.. the new window doesn't resize..

I'm wondering if there is a way to make it work for the browser as well?

thanks again!!

Hey,

If you post your code or a link I will check it on my Mac and PC. You can also check your Javascript for errors in netscape by loading the page, then typing this in the address line:

javascript:

...don't forget the colon at the end. This will tell you if there are any errors. I typically find that my Javascript works better in Netscape (go figure), and if there are any problems it is with IE (go figure).
