Question

open window with fixed specific size and no toolbars...

Asked by: GraveHard

Hi, i'm trying to make a menu for my DVD in html. What i'm trying to do it to make a index.html that starts with a specific size and no toolbars/statusbars/no minimize/no maximize/no scrollbar/no menu.

it should look the same as when you use this:
<script>
window.open('24index.html,'','height=563,width=1024,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbar=no,resizable=no,location=no,directories=no,minimize=no,maximize=no')
</script>
but then not using a second file or link to run the index.html from.

So a plain index.html file that starts when clicked on in a window with a fixed width and height and with those attributes turned off.


Tnx in advance for any help.

No way. You can not change the properties of a window you don't open.  
You could try to open new window and close the initial one, but you'll get worning.

 

by: daveAshPosted on 2003-09-04 at 02:57:55ID: 9286500

the only thing you could do would be to alter the size of the window by placing the following below the Head tags:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
window.resizeTo(1024,563)
</script>

you can't alter the toolbar, menubar etc without opening a new window
