[Javascript] auto resizing a window

Mon Nov 5 21:58:22 CST 2001

Kyle,

	What you're saying in the script below, is "if this document is contained
within a frameset, then resize the window".  The problem with that is that
if the condition is true, then you can't resize the window containing the
file, because there isn't one; there is only a frameset, and THAT document
is contained by a window.  Did that make sense?  If anything, such a command
would reduce the size of the frame.
	If you need to resize a window from within one of the frames, try using
top.resizeTo(675,600).  I've tested this in IE 5 and Netscape 4 and it
works; take the frame test out completely and let us know what happens.

Cheers,

Peter
