[HTML] new window size - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

FaderMonkey · 07-16-2004, 08:56 AM

I know to have a link open in a new window you use target=blank, but is there HTML code to set the size of a new window? I want a link to open in a smaller new window.

It's recommended that use both the HTML target attribute and an onclick handler to pop the JavaScript window, just on the off chance that the visitor has JavaScript disabled in their browser. In that case, the default HTML behavior will still work.

PHP Code:


			
<a href="some_page.html" target="popupWin" onclick="window.open('some_page.html','popupWin','width=300,height=400');">Open page in new window</a>

I'm working on OS 10.2. I'm using this code:

PHP Code:


			
<a href="some_page.html" target="popupWin" onclick="window.open('some_page.html','popupWin','width=300,height=400');">Open page in new window</a>

...which is working well when I use Firefox, but Safari 1.0 and IE 5.2 seem to ignore the window features. Is there anyway to do it so those browsers display it correctly as well?

You may have to explicitly declare all of the window features in IE 5.x:

PHP Code:


			
window.open('some_page.html','popupWin','width=400,height=300,scrollbars=0,menubar=0,directories=0,status=0,toolbar=0,resizable=0');

NOTE: You may want to set scrollbars to 1 unless you're absolutely sure the page content will never be taller than the window height.
