I am using the javascrip at http://javascript.internet.com/navigation/expanding-window.html

I am trying to edit this script so it activates when the page with this script is loaded. So the link is activated and a page comes up and expands.

Thanks, I am new at this.

Hi!

Instead of using the link to click on provided with the script code -

<a href="http://javascript.internet.com/" onClick="expandingWindow('http://javascript.internet.com/');return false;">Open JavaScriptSource.com!</a>

put an onload= into your body tag:

<body onload="expandingWindow('http://javascript.internet.com/');return false;">

replacing the url with the one of your site...

Cheers - Pit

All I need is the main window to close after the sub window apperars due to the script. I also thank Pittimann for helping me.

This is my current code.

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function expandingWindow(website) {
var heightspeed = 2; // vertical scrolling speed (higher = slower)
var widthspeed = 7; // horizontal scrolling speed (higher = slower)
var leftdist = 0; // distance to left edge of window
var topdist = 0; // distance to top edge of window
if (document.all) {
var winwidth = window.screen.availWidth - leftdist;
var winheight = window.screen.availHeight - topdist;
var sizer = window.open("","","left=" + leftdist + ",top=" + topdist + ",width=1,height=1,scrollbars=yes");
for (sizeheight = 1; sizeheight < winheight; sizeheight += heightspeed) {
sizer.resizeTo("1", sizeheight);
}
for (sizewidth = 1; sizewidth < winwidth; sizewidth += widthspeed) {
sizer.resizeTo(sizewidth, sizeheight);
}
sizer.location = website;
}
else
window.location = website;
}
// End -->
</script>
</HEAD>


<BODY onload="expandingWindow('http://cabinsandcamps.net');return false;">


</BODY>

Hi!

Please check out the line:
---------------------------
sizer.location = website;
---------------------------
in your code and insert this:
---------------------------
window.close();
---------------------------
as the next line. The rest should be ok.

Please note: almost EVERY browser (including yours) will popup a confirm box asking the user, if the window really should be closed. If you can live with that, add the line I proposed.

If not - post again...

Cheers - Pit

Thanks for helping

I searched the internet and found out you can add

javascript:window.opener=''; window.close();

and the main window will close without notice.

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
function expandingWindow(website) {
var heightspeed = 2; // vertical scrolling speed (higher = slower)
var widthspeed = 7; // horizontal scrolling speed (higher = slower)
var leftdist = 0; // distance to left edge of window
var topdist = 0; // distance to top edge of window
if (document.all) {
var winwidth = window.screen.availWidth - leftdist;
var winheight = window.screen.availHeight - topdist;
var sizer = window.open("","","left=" + leftdist + ",top=" + topdist + ",width=1,height=1,scrollbars=yes");
for (sizeheight = 1; sizeheight < winheight; sizeheight += heightspeed) {
sizer.resizeTo("1", sizeheight);
}
for (sizewidth = 1; sizewidth < winwidth; sizewidth += widthspeed) {
sizer.resizeTo(sizewidth, sizeheight);
}
sizer.location = website;
javascript:window.opener=''; window.close();
}
else
window.location = website;
}
// End -->
</script>
</HEAD>


<BODY onload="expandingWindow('http://cabinsandcamps.net');return false;"></body>

Hi!

You'll not succeed with that code!

Your script is not situated in the popup, but in the parent window...

Pittimann go to http://www.cabinsandcamps.net
