window resize

[keljnr]

Is it possible to resize the current window to a fixed size.

I have a splash page, and when the "Enter" button is clicked, I want the current screen to resize to the size of my flash movie.

can anyone help me?

No... you have to do it via "popup"

Yes using some simple javascript, you dont need a popup.

What's the point? My browser window is just fine the way I like it.. (and plus, I have Firefox set up to block attempts to resize/move windows).

Well you can, using resizeTo(), but some problems:

1) IE and Mozilla based browsers interpret this differently. IE counts the width/height as viewable page area, while Mozilla based browsers count the browser chrome in that as well, so it gives you a smaller area (and chrome can vary depending on a browser theme installed).

2) Everyone HATES when a site resizes itself. It's just flat out annoying. Most people (including myself) will close any site that does. And like λ I have my browser set to blck attempts to resize and move my windows.

that code ramie is limited... it resizes the current browser only on a click.... but you can't load a page into it. but I guess you could run a php query string, along w/ that and see if you can get it to work... but as is that script is sketchy

[ramie]

yea, but he is entering the page with a click on the "enter" button, so it works in that respect, or just set a meta refresh on the page with the script.

I aggree with the others tho, it's the most annoying thing ever......

Well, you can do it when a page is entered, via the bodies onLoad capability.

But my original statements still stand :P
