HomeWindow Generators
Creating exact size pop-up windows easily has always been sort of a hit and miss affair. Surprisingly the problem isn't Netscape's fault this time. Internet Explorer has always had problems with specified window sizes if certain window properties were turned off.
For example : if you wanted a window to open at 640x480 with all the properties on except for the address bar then the window opens approx 120 pixels higher than what we wanted.
If you don't believe me then set the Address Bar option to No - leave the rest as Yes then click here, the window that opens is approx 640x600 not ideal.
Using the code generator here you can create windows with whatever properties you like and the will open at the specified size.
If you clicked on the test link above then close the window that was opened. Leaving the Address Bar option at No, click here, now we get the window at the size we wanted :)
Needing more options when opening windows then get our advanced script
Place the generated script code between the <head></head> tags.
Open the window from onload with
<body onload="open_win('');">
OR
with an onClick
<a href="#" onClick="open_win('');return false;">Open the Window</a>
open_win('') opens the default url specified in the code generator. Alternatively, you can specify a url so the same window can be reused using open_win('http://THE_URL')
The generated code has been tested and found to work on IE6, Netscape 4.5, Netscape 6, Mozilla 1 - Due the way Opera 6 can be set up all windows will open at position 0,0.
