How to open non resizable popup window in Safari browser?

How to open non-resizable pop up window that works in Safari browser?
Javascript window.open() resizable option is not working in Safari browser though it works well in IE and Firefox.

Can someone suggest and alternative to this need or provide substantive reasoning if this is something un-doable in Safari.

I have had no problem opening popups in safari.  Not in front of a mac right now, but as I recall, this one of mine worked fine -- try it --

window.open(page.html,"","height=580,width=500,toolbar=1,location=1,scrollbars=0,menubar=1,resizable=1");

Remember, you have to specify dimensions and other parameters, I've had no problem with safari and javascript sub windows.
for nonn-resizable, set resizable=0 -- but TEST WITH 1 first -- see if that is your problem, might be being blocked.

scrathcyboy,

setting resizable=0 doesn't have an effect in Safari browser. User can still resize the window. An observation is pop up window maximize button is not disabled. Maybe it works disabling the maximize button somehow. Please suggest.

Kravimir,

I will wait for a while to see if there is a workaround and go with your justification.

Thanks to both of you.
