window resizing

malonep · Jan 17, 2005

Hi,

I have a program that on logout. It closes the browser and opens a new window the same size (to prevent use of the back button).

But if the window was maximized the new window opens a tiny bit smaller than maximized and on my frames page the bottom frame disappears although there is plenty of room for it.

Is there a way to test if the current window is maximized. That way I could just set the new window to be maximized and it might fix the problem?

Thanks

malonep, this will not maximize the window the same way that clicking the maxmize button will. However, it will fit the browser window to the dimensions of the screen. Simulating the maximize button is not possible in javascript w/o using an ActiveX object.

Code:

<html>
<head>
<script language=javascript>

window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resizeTo(screen.width,screen.height);

</script>

</head>
<body>
<form name=blahForm>
Maximize Window Test
</form>
</body>
</html>
