Launch Javascript command in D2005

[KB8WFH]

I need to launch a javascript command that opens a browser window of a specific size and loads a specific page. I have not been able to find a way to do it.

I have tried using the shell execute commend to launch the following html/Javascript commend:

javascript:window.open("filename.html",'_blank','status=yes,top=0,left=0,width=661,height=421')

Maybe I don't even need the HTML javascript if there is a way to launch a browser and populate it with what I need. Does any one have an idea for launching a browser window of a specific type, then loading up a specific HTML document inside it? Thanks.

You could create a TForm of the desired size. I can't speak for D2005, but in D6 there is a TWebBrowser component. You could drop this component onto the form (or instantiate it dynamically), ensuring that you set it's Align property to alClient, so it fills the sized form.

Then call TWebBrowser's Navigate method passing the desired URL.

Hope this helps!

That's an idea I had as well. i went ahead and just did that and its a lot easier to control that way anyhow. Thanks for the input. It is appreciated.
