Is it possible to set the properties of a web page when it is the first web page accessed. I know how to do this when calling a web page from another web page with the window.open method and properties in VBScript client and JavaScript. Can the window properties be set when a web page is initially opened from the browser? I want to eliminate the scroll and toolbars and also size the window.

Thanks,

Thanks. I should say that the most important aspect of doine this is the ability to have a sized window set in the window properties to ensure the size. And I also want to eliminate the Windows toolbars.

Thanks,

You aren't really "supposed to" have this control over the user's browser window. It belongs to the user, not your web site or application.

About all I can think of is to have your initial page open a new window to the page you really want to start with, then have that initial page close the original window. Even then the user ought to see a warning asking them if they want to let this happen. Personally, I'd leave the user's original window alone.

Start closing/resizing my browser windows and I'll never come back to visit your site again. ;-)

I assume you have some good reason for wanting to do this?
