launch window certain size etc *by itself*

does anyone know how I could get a page to open to a specific size and
location on the screen on its own? in other words, the page is not
being launched from any other page; it simply resides on my local
machine and I would like to see it launch to a specific size etc.

thanks

Yes there is a way. Javascript has a Window object with these methods
which can achieve what you want:
[color=blue]
>specific..location on the screen[/color]

window.moveBy(dx, dy)
window.moveTo(x, y)
[color=blue]
>open to a specific size...[/color]

window.resizeBy(dw, dh)
window.resizeTo(width, height)

The only difference is dependent on how you want to do your desired
action. i.e., do you want to do it by relative or absolute amount.

Hope this helps. :)

Open IE to that size, then close it.
