I'm wondering if there is a way to make a window re-size itself like a
pop-up but just "onload".
that way you wouldn't have to write the link as a pop-up but the particular
page would resize itself and configure it's own options.

If it can be done maybe you've got a link for me?

You would still have to create the window using JS.

yes, but couldn't that JavaScript be on the page that is opening. sort of
like a self-popping window?

Chris,

I now understand your question, but I don't think that you can do it exactly
the way you want or expect. You might want to search for a JavaScript
newsgroup to post to.

Hi Chris,

Yes, you can do this in the onload event of the body tag using JavaScript
and the window object.

Thanks Mike,
Do you have a recommendation of where I might find such a script or what
it'd be called so I can search for it?

TIA

Chris,

Any window resize script should be able to be modified to do this. If
you've got a new window code generator, just create a new window link, look
at the generated code, and hack out just the bit you want. Roll that into a
new JS function and call that function with <body onload=functionname> from
the page you want resized.

Note, most pop-up blockers will prevent javascript onload events for new
windows from firing.

Also you don't know the resolution of your visitors monitor or what else
they may have open. People tend to get really annoyed when a site resizes
their primary browser window and leave the site not to return. So think
carefully about why you want to resize the browser window before you put in
javascript to do so.

You also run into accessibility problems if you "configure" the browser away
from the visitor's preferences.

I agree but this is for a "special" application that I think will be OK.
Your point is well taken and should be considered by anyone looking to do
something like this.

thanks,
chris

Thanks Jack,
that's a great idea. I'll work on it and see how it pans out.

thanks again,
