full screen new window

[pow67]

I want my hyperlink to open a new window which fills the entire screen
while leaving the previous page open.

I added:

target="_blank"

to the hyperlink but the screen only fills about 50%.

Thanks in advance.

I am not very experienced with front page, but this is how you do it with
HTML/Javascript:

<SCRIPT>
<!--
var ie=(document.all?1:0);
var n6=(document.getElementById&&!ie?1:0);
var n4=(document.layers&&!n6?1:0);
var adder=(!ie?-10:0);
var adder1=(!ie?-50:0);
var swi=screen.width+adder;
var sht=screen.height+adder1;
function winOpen(file_name){

msg=window.open(file_name,'','width='+swi+',height='+sht+',top=0,left=0,scro
llbars=1,resizable=1');
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

Then, just use code like
<a href="winOpen('file_to_open.html')">Click Here</a>

Sorry. I forgot. The "<SCRIPT>" code goes in the head section of the HTML
file.

I copied your function but I keep getting the following error message:

The requested URL /winOpen('myTEST_Page.htm') was not found on this
server.

I tried changing
<SCRIPT>
to
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

and changed the link to:

<a href="javascript:winOpen('myTEST_Page.htm')">Click Here</a></p>

but it did not work.

Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Don't do it - period. Use the target="_blank" feature and let THE USER
decide how big s/he want that window. The same rule applies to location
of the new window on the screen...
