make hyperlink open in maximised window

[Guest]

Please can you help?
I have a hyperlink that opens when clicking on the word "here" on a web
page. I want the hyperlink to open in a maximised window. How is this done?

If you are talking about a new window, you can download and install the free
FP addin "Spawn" from www.jimcosoftware.com which lets you control the size.

I am not permitted to install add-ons. Can't I just modify the code?

I am not permitted to install add-ons. Can't I just modify the code?

This is the JS function (with apologies to Jim as it is modified slightly to
allow x and y centering spearately)
function spawnJimcoPopup(url, name, options, h, w, x, y, scaleType)
{
if (scaleType == 'percent')
{ h = (h * screen.availHeight) / 100
w = (w * screen.availWidth) / 100 }
if (x == 'center') x = (screen.availWidth - w) / 2
if (y == 'center') y = (screen.availHeight - h) / 2
options += ',width=' + w + ',height=' + h
+ ',left=' + x + ',top=' + y
var newWindow = window.open(url, name, options)
newWindow.focus()
}

Just call it by spawnJimcoPopup('your.domain.com', '_blank', , '50',
'50','center','center', 'percent')
and you will open 'your.domain.com' in a new window which occupies 50% of
the height and width and is centred.

Hi,
Thank you for trying to help.
Is there not a simpler solution to this? Here is an example of the section
of code:

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/yyyyyyyy/">here</a> to
access
the The xxxxxxxxx Group site.</font></span></p>

When clicking on the Word "here" I want a new window to open maximised
displaying the site page www.xxxxxxxxx.com/yyyyyyyy/

I use this script in my web pages when I want the page to load maximized.

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--
top.window.moveTo(0,0);
if (document.all) {
top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
}
else if (document.layers||document.getElementById) {
if
(top.window.outerHeight<screen.availHeight||top.window.outerWidth<screen.availWidth){
top.window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
top.window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth;
}
}
//-->
</script>

Charles,
How can I make the new window that opens when clicking on the hyperlink
maximise?
Your solution doesn't seem to help with this.

I think in the long term you will find that visitors to your site, will not return if you force
their browser to open full screen.

The page is for online training and the window needs to be maximised. I just
want to save people from having to click the maximise button.

You would have to use JavaScript to grab the screen resolution and then open the JavaScript popup
window to that size.

In your IE address bar, type:

? JavaScript Windows Size Script

Try again, like this in the page you want opened maximized:

</head>

<script language="JavaScript1.2">
<!--
top.window.moveTo(0,0);
if (document.all)
{
top.window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
}
else if (document.layers||document.getElementById)
{
if
(top.window.outerHeight<screen.availHeight||top.window.outerWidth<screen.availWidth)
{
top.window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
top.window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth;
}
}
//-->
</script>
<body>
