Controlling browser window size

's Computer Specifications

Hi,
I have a thumbnail that opens a smallish picture in a new browser window.
I'd like to control the size of the new window so its about the same size as
the picture. Now it opens up a fullscreen window which dwarfs the picture.
I've seen other sites that do that but I can't figure out how to do it in FP.
Can someone help please?

Thanks,
Marc

Marc,
FP won't do it by itself, but Steve Easton (MVP) and I have been having a
discussion over many threads about a script that will do it.

Steve's script is below, with one small change (only he will know what it
is).
Go to Code or HTML view and paste it between <head> and </head>:
// =============== Script to paste ================
<script type="text/javascript">
var img , imageToLoad , sVarA , sVarRS
var newwindow , newdocument , sToPass
function newWindow(img)
{
imageToLoad = new Image()
new function testit()
{
imageToLoad.src = (img)
// we need a little pause while the script gets the image since the
image is on the server,
// or the browser will open the window and write the script before the
image is cached,
// which causes the script to write zeros for the resizeto dimensions.
setTimeout(loadit,1000)
//--- Internal function ---
function loadit()
{
sVarA = ("left=20px" + ",top=20px" + ",width=" + imageToLoad.width +
",height=" + imageToLoad.height)
sVarRS = 'onload="resizeTo(' + imageToLoad.width + ',' +
imageToLoad.height + ')"'

sToPass='<html><head>\n'
+ '<style type="text/css"> body{ background-repeat:
no-repeat; }</style>\n'
+ '<title>' + img + '</title>\n'
+ '</head>\n'
+ '<body ' + sVarRS + ' background=' + img + '>\n'
+ '</body></html>'
//check to see if we have the dimensions and if not, go back and wait
another 1 second
if ( imageToLoad.width == 0 ){ testit() }
else
newwindow = window.open('','',sVarA)
newdocument = newwindow.document
newdocument.write(sToPass)
newdocument.close()
}
//--- End loadit() ---
}
//--- End testit() ---
}
</script>
// =============== End of Script ================

Call it from HTML by
<a href="#" onclick="newWindow('mypicture.jpg')">
<img src="mypicture_t.jpg" alt=" ">My picture</a>
Change:
'mypicture.jpg' to the name of your image
"mypicture_t.jpg" to the name of your thumbnail image
'My picture' to your caption

You can change the position of the page by left and top in this line
sVarA = ("left=20px" + ",top=20px" + ",width=" + imageToLoad.width +
",height=" + imageToLoad.height)

I found it works quite nicely.

Steve, hope you don't mind. I think the script is great.
I have modified it myself (see my website) to place the background image in
a grey box, centered horizontally, with grey rounded corners, but that's
just an added bell (or is a whistle?) Marc, I can send details of how to do
this, but the rounded corners are a bit tricky.

Don't know about Steve.
He says it is still in development. He calls it tinkering.

I am at a similar stage. I feel that sometimes it doesn't work.

I did notice that Firefox had a message in the Javascript Console:
"Too many recursions" which may be realated

When it doesn't work, I replace
if ( imageToLoad.width == 0 ){ testit() }
by
if ( imageToLoad.width == 0 )
alert('Image did not load. Please try again')
This does not seem to fail. When I do try again, the image loads fine.

I am thinking a better option may be
if ( imageToLoad.width == 0 )
{
alert('Image did not load. Press enter to try again')
testit()
}

To answer the specific question:
No. I do not have access to a Mac

Hi Murray,
As Trevor mentioned this is just something I've been playing with because I
think it's possible to point a script at a folder full of images and create
the links "on the fly."

That said. I've not tried it on a Mac. But, if a Mac supports JavaScript
that's been around since the days of Mosaic, it "should work."

Steve,
As you know I have been playing with this as well.

Below is my latest version.

OK, so I call spawnJimco Popup to open the window instead of the basic
window open calls. But this is to give me some extra stuff - a centred
window with a Print button, a "Click to close" option, and a grey background
with rounded corners. However, the principle is the same.

This seems to work every time in IE6 and FF1.5 on my local web. I do not
even get the confirm box coming up. I will put it on my website and test it
here.

I will keep an eye out in the NG to see if you find any other problems with
it in your testing.

// ========= Latest Version==============
function newWindow(img,caption)
{
var imageToLoad = new Image()
new function testit()
{
imageToLoad.src = img
// we need a little pause while the script gets the image
setTimeout(loadit,1000)

//--- Internal function ---
function loadit()
{
// check to see if we have the dimensions and if not, go back and wait
another 1 second
var w = imageToLoad.width
if (w == 0 )
{
if (confirm('Image did not load.\nPress OK to try again\nPress
Cancel to exit')==true)
testit()
else
return
}
else
{
var h = imageToLoad.height
var windh = h + 50
spawnJimcoPopup
('picture.html?picture=' + img + '&caption=' + caption
+ '&height=' + h + '&width=' + w
, '_blank'
,
'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no'
, windh,w,'center','0','pixel')
}
} //--- End loadit() ---
} //--- End testit() ---
}
// ========= End Latest Version==============

It does - what I'm more concerned about is having the Mac dynamically resize
the page based on the image's size. That has been problematic in the past -
something about how the Mac manages images or something....

And, for what it's worth, js support didn't become standard until well after
Mosaic. NN3, I believe, was the first of the big ones to add it.
