sizing the browser

[FOXPROG]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the commands to size the browser to a fixed size so my fields don't wrap?

Thanks
Frank

For a quick solution, you could place all your fields in a fixed size table. (Eg: <table border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; height=&quot;400&quot;>)

Another solution involves javascript, and opening a new window that is sized to your specifications. I'm not sure if you can resize the default browser window when a client navigates to your site.

Javascript: In your body tag, put this

onload=&quot;javascript: window.open('urlofpage.htm','nameofpage','height=400,width=600')&quot;

Additional properties to add:
toolbar=yes/no
menubar=yes/no
location=yes/no
scrollbars=1/0
resizable=yes/no
status=yes/no
border=yes/no
screenx=# Horz position in Netscape
screeny=# Vert position in Netscape
left=# Horz position in IE
top=# Vert position in IE

why not?

top.resizeTo(x,y);
& invoke it onresize (but resizing onresize - pretty buggy..) Victor

I figured there was a way, just couldn't think of it. You can do darn near anything with JS, just not the stuff you really want to!
