Automatic resize of a popup window

[milams]

Is there a way to automatically size a popup window based on the the size of the table? I am querying the table dimesions using PHP and MySQL and I would like to insert the two variables $alt_height and $alt_width into the javascript code below by putting those two variables in place the pixel height and width dimensions. Is this possible?

<script language= JavaScript><!--
function pop1(URL) {
window.open(URL,'','height=500,width=730,scrollbars=no,top=05,left=10');
} //-->;
</script>

If anybody can help I would really appreciate it.

Are you querying the database from the popup window? If so, I suggest you open the window with the default settings you have there.

The popup window will query the db and build your webpage. Then, afterwards, you can reference the height of the data it has written, and use the window's resizeTo() function to, at THAT point, change the height / width of the popup.

No, I'm quering the dabase from the main page where the popup link is. that script from before is from the main page. But, in PHP the fields are present on the main page, so I thought i could do this, but it doesn't work

<?php
echo "<script language= JavaScript>"; echo "<!--
function pop1(URL) {
window.open(URL,'','height=$tbl-height,width=$tbl_width,scrollbars=no,top=05,left=10');
} //-->;";
echo "</script>";
?>

If that doesn't work (but it looks like it should), try

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function pop1(URL) {
window.open(URL,'','height=<? =$tbl-height ?>,width=<?= $tbl_width ?>,scrollbars=no,top=05,left=10');
} 
//-->;
</script>
