I have a samll popup window for users that prompt for useraname and password. If they login successfully, I redirect them to a protected website. My problem is that the protected web site shows up in the same samll pop-up window. Is there a was to have the popup window expand one the sumbit button is pressed? I'm using a javascript pop-up box currently.
Thanks,

Most browsers these days come with options to prevent windows being resized with JavaScript, so short of creating ANOTHER popup window (which probably still won't be the right size for the user) there isn't very much you can do.
The best solution to this problem is to avoid creating the problem in the first place - don't popup a tiny window. Let the user use their existing browser window - its already set to their prefered window size.
attatch this to an event.
widow.resizeTo(screen.widt
I would however take a different route myself, have you though about producing the popup and the redirecting the opener, ie
window.opener.location = 'whereveryouwanttogo.htm'
also, as I would have thought you are doing some kind of server side validation for username/password, the redirect or resize, would have to be post processing, ie run after the validation has occured, without knowing more about your server process, can be of no help there.
Hope this gives you what you are looking for.
In the dialog
function cmdok()
{
window.returnValue = "fredbloggs.asp?arguments=
window.close();
}
function cmdcancel()
{
window.returnValue = "";
window.close();
}
And in the caller
showModalDialog(blah......
if (window.returnValue <> "")
{
Now open a new window or page, any size you like. with window.location.href= or window.open...
}

Can you post the code so we can look at it.
My first guess would be a target="_blank" would do the trick but we need to see the code.
