I want to open a window, with no borders, no toolbars etc, to a specific size.

I found this code:-

<script language="JavaScript">

</script>

And just need to know how to call it so that the window containing this code, is replaced by my new borderless window (mypage.html). Also, I think I read that there are limits to width and height?

Sorry, although I learnt C++, I've never messed around with javascript to get the hang of the syntax and conventions.

If you want to open the window on the click of a button ..

<input type="button" onClick="javascript:winPop();">

If you want to open the window on the click of an image ..

<a href="" onClick="javascript:winPop(); return false;"><img ... ></a>

If you want to open the window automatically on page load ..

<body onLoad="javascript:winPop();">

Hope it helps.

Also, the main javascript code must be between the head tags.

If you are having problems with the JS running, and have another JS file in there make sure you are using the correct Body onload procedure

Thanks for that - It works nicely.

But one small detail.

I'm opening the borderless windows when a button is pressed (the button is in Flash, but that's not an issue). If I press a button, but the window is already there - I get scrollbars.

Can I prevent that?

To see what I'm doing, go to:-

And Launch a palette in my Darg and Drop WEB page maker.

You currently have

window.open("mypage.html","_self","toolbar=no,menubar=no,directories=no,location=no,status=no,
scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=550,height=425");

Which has borders. You want none? try:

var newWin=window.open("mypage.html","_self","fullscreen=1");
newWin.width=550
newWin.height=425

you can even position it with newWin.Left and newWin.Top

have fun,
