size of web page

[Doug]

How can the width and height of a web page be controlled. It would be nice
if the web page size (for a link) could be revised so it can appear like a
message dialog instead of the full size page.

How can the width and height of a web page be controlled.

modern browsers can prevent you from fiddling with window width/height (and
a lot of other giggly stuff)

It would be nice if the web page size (for a link)

if its just a link to another site you're better off just using a normal
link, if people want to open that link in a new window they can do it
themselves.

could be revised so it can appear like a message dialog instead of the
full size page.

what you want is a <evil>popup</evil> with the width and height specified
but many people use various means to block them.

without knowing what you really want one for i can only recommend against
it because its evil and put you on my "people not to be saved" list when
armageddon arrives.

I guarantee it has no evil intent. All I want it for is to throw up a
message in a pop-up (another page) that tells the user something like "fill
in the cotton picken edit box." just like in the desktop world of
programming.

I know advertising pop-ups are evil and I hate them also.

hmmmmm... i think this would be more appropriate:

Javascript form validation ¡V doing it right
http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/webmatters/formval.html

but don't forget you still need to validate server side.

What happened here? The encoding change from ISO-8859-1 to
"Traditional Chinese (Big5)" for no reason at all.
Is it me or is it you?

JavaScript alert is maybe what your are thinking?

alert("fill in the cotton picken edit box.");

aaahhhhhhhh! its me. Dunno why it did that, 8859-1 is the only allowable
charset i have setup for posting.

no its not, if the visitor has JS it saves time and a trip to the server
and back again. the problem arises when JS is required or is the only
validation made on the form goodies.

go php!

of course you still need to validate server side regardless of whats been
done client side, common sense.
