[Javascript] OPEN WINDOW TO EXACT SIZE

Thu Jun 7 06:56:52 CDT 2001

Hi,
    I think the problem is when the body loads the image has not yet loaded?
I can't get it to work.

Regards,

Andrew

PPK,
Very interesting that that is possible.

A small obstacle still to be got around I think.
If the URL sent to window open is myImage.jpg then there will be no body
tag.
The workaround would be to have an HTML file which included your body tag
and send the image file name as a query string attached to the URL of the
html page

"mypage.htm?myImage.jpg"

Then script in mypage.htm writes the image tag

document.write('<IMG src="',window.location.search.substring(1),'">');

If image names had non alpha characters (eg spaces [yuk]) then the code
would have to escape/unescape the image file name, I think.

  In the popup:

  <BODY
  onLoad="if  (self.resizeTo)
  self.resizeTo(document.images[0].width,document.images[0].height"> (one
  line!)
