[Javascript] auto resizing a window

Mon Nov 5 23:37:59 CST 2001

Peter,

Thanks for the help. I got rid of the conditional, and left just this:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
	self.resizeTo(675,600);
//-->
</script>

http://theallthing.taa.usf.edu/

It works perfectly. When the window that this link comes up in loads up my
page, that code resizes the window to better accommodate the way I designed
my site. 

Plus I poked around a few of the links you sent earlier and have learned
some cool stuff. 

Thanks again. 

Kyle

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

|says error on page, object expected.
|
|<html><head><link rel="STYLESHEET" type="text/css" href="/tampa.css">
|<script language="JavaScript">
|<!--
|  if (top.frames.length!=0)
|{
|	self.resizeTo(675,600);
|}
|//-->
|</script>
|</head>
