HOW TO MINIMIZE A POP UP WINDOW?

[alexfusion]

Hello All,
This is a very simple question.I have seen this effect in many web sites:
How can I open a pop up window and then minimize it?
Very simple but I don't know how to get the effect.
Any help very much aprecciated.
I tried once the pop up window opens using

newwindow.resizeTo(1,1),but it dosn't works, at least in IE.


where newwindow, of course, is the pop up window.
I'm in the right way? :-(

Thanks in advance.

you have to look at it backwards! instead of minimizing the popup, bring the parent window in front.

window.focus(); Robert Carpenter

The reason your code doesn't work in IE is because, as part of their security model, you are not allowed to make a popup window smaller than a certain minimum size, nor are you allowed to position it off the screen. Tracy Dryden

found it, but it doesnt work properly in netscapes.. so, i lied

here:

function op(){
win1=window.open("somedoc.html","hidden","left=2000,top=2000,width=10,height=10"
}

I seem to recall that the minimum size is something like 100x100 pixels.

Maybe it was NS and not IE that had the minimum size and on-screen location security policy, since Victor couldn't get the window offscreen in NS. Tracy Dryden

wow ns did something right for once

Yes, I'd call it the right thing to do. But a lot of people don't like the fact that they can't make a hidden popup window. Tracy Dryden
