anyway to center a window.open? taking into considerations different screen resolutions, using "left=x, top=y" is not very useful.

:confused:

Yes first get the screen resolutions of a system and then open it up at a central location on the screen.
top and left fro IE and screenX and screenY for NS

I use something to this effect:

onclick="newWin=window.open('helpFrame.html','HelpWindow',
'width=500,height=275,status=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,menubar=no,toolbar=no');
newWin.moveTo(150,100); return false;"

I have been reading postings on this forum regarding the positioning of a window after being opened. I am having problems getting it to work for me and I am curious if any of you have ideas as to troubleshooting.

I have tried left=, top= and screenX=, screenY= in the windowfeatures part of the window.open javascript and have also tried winName.moveTo() without any luck.

What really confuses me is that Netscape 6 is rendering just with lef and top????

Any ideas would be appreciated much...
