Hi -
I just want to resize a window to a particular dimension, say 100 x 100 pixels. When I use this code, it doesn't do anything. According to the status bar at the bottom of Internet Explorer, it says, "Error on page".

Here's the code:

<html>
<body>
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;window.open('index.htm','width=100,height=100'); return false;&quot;>
<font color=&quot;#000000&quot; face=&quot;Arial Narrow&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;>
Hello</font></a>
</body>
</html>

Can anyone shed some light? Thank you in advance!

are you trying to resize the window the user is in? or a new one.
try
<a href=&quot;#&quot; onClick=&quot;window.open('index.htm', 'NewSize','width=100,height=100')&quot;>Hello

no need for the return false.

I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

I'm trying to resize the new window.

Basiclly, the user will click on a link in the main window. A new window pops up (which dimensions are 100 x 100), then after 3 seconds, it closes, leaving the main window in view.

I am able to do everything, BUT getting the new window's dimensions! :p

not sure if you have the timed close down but here's how I've done it in the past.
//first page
<html>
<body>
<a href=&quot;#&quot; OnClick=&quot;window.open('timed.htm', 'NewWindow','width=100,height=100'); return false&quot;>Want to see?
</body>
</html>

//popup or second page
//3000 = 3 seconds
<html>
<body onLoad=&quot;setTimeout(window.close, 3000)&quot;>
I think I'll go now!
</body>
</html> [bomb]

Thank you so much! That worked perfectly!

Sorry, but I was just dashing out of work before I replied that first time, so I didn't have time to check out the code. I just answered the question you asked!

Thank you again. I really appreciate your help!

Actually, return false IS necessary for older browsers. Not IE 6, but older ones do need return false.

To make a link that does that, do this:
<script>
<!--
function newer(loc){
new_win.location.href=loc;
new_win.moveTo(0,0);
new_win.resizeTo(availWidth,availHeight);
}
//-->
</script>
<a href=&quot;javascript:newer(&quot;page.html&quot;);&quot;>click!</a>
--assuming the new window is named &quot;new_win&quot;
--to make it named new_win, if it isn't, do this:
var new_win=window.open(blahblahblah);


That function will work for any link now. Just pass in the value for the page location.
