How do you specify the size of a window for a web page?

Question

I'd like to make a small window that will be opened after clicking a link, but I only want a small window that you can't maximise. Just like the pop ads but with a scrollbar to look down the page. Cheers.

Answer 1

You will need to use Javascript to do this.

window.open(URL, windowName[, windowFeatures])

windowFeatures will be a string like this: "status=1,height=350,width=350"

Here is a list of all things that can be changed.

status: The status bar at the bottom of the window.

toolbar: The standard browser toolbar, with buttons such as Back and Forward.

location: The Location entry field where you enter the URL.

menubar: The menu bar of the window

directories: The standard browser directory buttons, such as What's New and What's Cool

resizable: Allow/Disallow the user to resize the window.

scrollbars: Enable the scrollbars if the document is bigger than the window

height: Specifies the height of the window in pixels. (example: height='350')

width: Specifies the width of the window in pixels.
