Question

How to miximize the new opened window ?

Asked by: decae2001

When I hit a button, it calls a javascript function
to open up a new window.

How do I add something in window.open(...) that will miximize the window, but not full screen ?

So, when the user minimize/maximize the taskbar, my new opened window will also shrink and expand.

Hello,

U can write the following code in ur window.open() method to maximise the window

window.moveTo(0,0)
window.resizeTo(800,580)

This will maximise the window to the size of the screen. U can chabge the screen size by changing the parameter values.

All the best.

try this.......

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
     var iMyWidth;
     var iMyHeight;
     iMyWidth = (window.screen.width);
     iMyHeight = (window.screen.height) ;
     iMyHeight= iMyHeight ;

var unwin
unwin=window.open("test.htm","test","status=no,height=" + iMyHeight + ",width=" + iMyWidth +",resizable=no,left=0,top=0,screenX=0,screenY=0,scrollbars=no");

//-->
</script>

this is screen resolution compatable.

Good Luck...:)

I have tried all of your solutions. It did cover the
whole screen, but the window is still not in maximize
state.

Because when I resize my taskbar, the window will not
shrink or expand.

<!--

var str = "left=0,screenX=0,top=0,screenY=0";

if (window.screen) {
  var ah = screen.availHeight - 30;
  var aw = screen.availWidth - 10;
  str += ",height=" + ah;
  str += ",innerHeight=" + ah;
  str += ",width=" + aw;
  str += ",innerWidth=" + aw;
} else {
  str += ",resizable"; // so the user can resize the window manually
}

function launchFull(url, name) {
  return window.open(url, name, str);
}

var win = launchFull("full1.html", "full");

// -->
