Resize html window on Startup from cd-rom

Rob · Jan 15, 2004

Hi,

I have some problems resizing a html page when it is loaded.
I want the page to resize to the screensize.

The following snipped of code (see below) works perfect on my Windows NT.
but not on my Windows 98.

Windows 98 with Ms Explorer 6.0.2800.1106IS
Update versions:; SP1; q313829; Q328970; Q330994; Q813389l Q818529; Q824145;

What am I doing wrong.

It is from a site that I am constructing at:
http://test.comweb.nl/pereira/newsite2/

Thanks for any comments on how to solve this problem.
Rob.


<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function sizeWindow()
{
width=window.screen.width;
height=window.screen.height;
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.resize(width,height);
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

<BODY bgcolor="#DEEFF8" topmargin="0" leftmargin="15" marginwidth="15"
marginheight="0" onLoad="sizeWindow();">

Which browser are you using? Your resize will not do anything in my
browsers as I have turned off the option to allow web pages to resize
my window. It's my window, not yours. This function is available on
most modern browsers. Most visitors will think it rude of you to
resize and move around their window.

Aside: with JavaScript disabled, all I see at your page is a
background graphic.

Don't try to control the user's browser. There's resize and fullscreen
functions already built into browsers, and there's no need to add your
obtrusive code.

Er, it's on a cd-rom, as per the subject line. I'd hardly expect many
visitors to a cd-rom

You never know where Brucie will show up.

I missed the CD-ROM bit on first read, too. The OP really should have
mentioned it in the body of the message as well. Especially since he
gave a URL.

I missed it in the subject line as well. Still don't see the need to
try to force the window, even if it is on a CD.

Me either, though it is probably not quite as bad as on a www page.

It is worth noting to the OP, however, that a number of browsers have
the option to stop Javascript from resizing the window, and all have the
option to disable Javascript altogether. So unless you are working in an
intranet (in which case why would you need a CD?) where you know the
exact environment, you can never guarantee it is going to work.

Go and have a look at the web site mentioned in the OP:
http://test.comweb.nl/pereira/newsite2/

He *has* to run the browser full screen because he is using some stupid
looking javascript skulduggery to document.write his images, client side
resized to 90% of the physical screen size.

If the browser is not full screen (as mine was not when I looked, and thanks
to the error of using resize instead of resizeTo) I only got about 30% of
the full sized 1600x1200 image.

Message to Rob: Do Not Do This! It makes the images look like they were
painted with a broom rather than an artists brush.

Cheers
Richard.

I did. See my first post in this thread, where I said:

Rhetorical: Where do deezyners learn about this stuff? <g>
