Browser Size

[Guest]

Just started using FP2003 (ex Dreamweaver) and I'm on a steep learning curve - how can I set the browser opening size?

I believe the poster meant the size of a new page when a link is clicked.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys; to clarify, what I meant was: when someone arrives at my website, how do I set it so that the browser opens up to display my index,htm page at a size I predetermine, whatever there browser may already be displaying at. For instance, say I want it to display at 800x600, when the user is browing at 640x480 or 1024x768. I hope this is clearer. ;-)

 

[Steve Easton]

Ah ok.
Set the width of the table at a fixed width of 750 pixels, and then place
all of the content inside the table.

Steve,

He want to actually change the user browser's window to whatever size he has
designed his site for.

Example, I run at 1280 x 1024 but browse at say 700 x 700 pixels, he want to
automatically change my Browser's window to 800 x 600 pixels when I visit
his site.

Thomas, you've got it in one! Now all I need is the answer. ;-)

Roger,

You'll need to use JavaScript to do this. You should be able to find a
script that either does this or can be modified to do it here:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/index.html

It's important to note that most folks don't like having their browser
windows "hijacked" so please use cautiously.

 

[Steve Easton]

Uh uh, what he said was he wants the page to display at 800 by 600
regardless of whether the browser is set at 640x480 or 1024x768.

The only way to do this in a 640 by 480 browser is to use a fixed table that
results in scrollbars at lower resolutions.
How can you open a 800 by 600 window on a 640 by 480 browser otherwise.
Where are the toolbar and status bar going to be??

Roger,

I did a search and could not locate one script that would do all of what you
want, it would take locating 3 different scripts that would then have to be
combined into one, and you would have know and understand JavaScript.

The first script would be one that detects the browser's window opening size
and has to have multiple routines to handle the various browsers and
versions.

The second script would be one that adjust the user's browsers.

The third script would then load the site.

Steve, he want his site to change the current open browser window to a
larger size, if it is open at less then 800 pixels on a resolution of 800 or
higher.

Actual the best solution would be use JavaScript to open a new window at 800
pixels, after detecting the user's resolution, and not try to adjust the
user's browser window.

Roger, are you saying that Dreamweaver has a function that automatically
resizes a user's browser window? If so, can you provide a URL to a site
using this function?

Guys, all I want to do is ensure that when a visitor lands on our home

page, the browser opens at the size its been designed for. I don't want to
stop it being resized, but I do want to ensure that initially, it looks
right! Perhaps I should go back to Dreamweaver. ;-(

 

[Steve Easton]

OK, I'm confused.

If I have my monitor set at 640x480 what is going to happen if you command a
web page to open at 800 by 600??

The browser window will be off of the screen.

Those users would have to scroll, as the script would have just load the
page without trying to adjust the browser's window size.

Thomas, I can't give you a url, but this is what I used to use in DW: </script><script language="JavaScript"
/*
Made By Eddie Traversa
*/

self.moveTo((""),("")
self.resizeTo(("800"),("600"))
void(outerWidth=800);
void(outerHeight=600)


</script

However, although it works locally in FP2003, it doesn't work once I've published the site to my host!! Perhaps someone can tell me why or how to fix it.

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

Roger,

The script work just fine. How are you insert this into your page?

However it has no means to check the user's current resolution.

Here is a working example of the script as provided by you:
