Q: I set the Height and Width of a newWindow but how can I set the position (Left and Top)or Screen centered. I use this code: newWindow = window.open('', 'newWin', 'toolbar=no, location=no, scrollbars=yes, status=no, menubar=no, resizable=no, alwaysraised=yes, dependent=yes, width=620, height=400, screenx=150, screeny=50') and each time load the page in a different position.
 
Maybe you need to give it a location; I'm not QUITE sure what's wrong with it, but that may well be a PART of your problem.<br>
<br>
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.<br>

This is the code that I use to create a dynamic splash screen. It works in Netscape 4.61 and IE 5.x under Windows NT 4.0. Hope it helps.<br>
<br>
<br>
// find the center of the screen, and compensate for the <br>
// size of the new window to to center it.<br>
centerX = screen.width/2 - 125<br>
centerY = screen.height/2 - 50<br>
<br>
windProps = "HEIGHT=100,WIDTH=250,TOP=" + centerY + ",LEFT=" + centerX <br>
<br>
splashWind = window.open("", "splashScreen", windProps)
 
This is how I POP a smaller window up:<br>
This goes up in the &quot;HEAD&quot; of the HTML file..<br>
&lt;script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;&gt;<br>
&lt;!-- ;<br>
function openWin(URL) {<br>
aWindow = window.open(URL,&quot;newwindow&quot;,&quot;resizable=yes,width=315,height=165,<br>
top=120,left=450,scrollbars=no&quot;);<br>
}<br>
// end hide --&gt;<br>
&lt;/script&gt;<br>
<br>
And this is the actual function that is called to make it happen down in the &quot;BODY&quot;:<br>
<br>
&lt;A HREF= &quot;javascript:eek:penWin('FILENAME.htm');&quot; OnMouseOut=&quot;window.status=''; return true&quot; OnMouseOver=&quot;window.status=''; return true&quot;&gt;CLICK HERE&lt;/a&gt;<br>
<br>
Hope this helps...
