You cannot open a new window with javascript that is hidden, positioned off screen, or smaller than a minimum size.

Why do you want to hide the window? Can you not just close it and open it again?

I am opening a url (asp.net page) from window.open which I am resizing if the loaded url document is bigger or smaller than the opened window, but my user didn't liked this resizing of the window. so, I thought if i could open the window with hide attribute set initially and after resizing if I could display it then users will not see the resizing effect.

any suggestions ?

You don't need to resize the window, you can open the window the correct size in the first place.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

window.open('yourpage.asp','','width=200,height=100')

See this page for more info.

problem is my asp.net page will be of varying width and height and before calling in window.open method I can't get its full height and width.

Then how will you get the height and width after calling the page?

Well even if you donot know the height and width in advance still you can specify a certain height and width and keep scrollbars, will that help?
[HTML]window.open(url,"mywindow","location=1,status=1,sc rollbars=1,width=500,height=300");[/HTML]
