new window

Den
Hi, I have one simple question:
Code:
------------
<html>
<body>
<input type="button" onclick="openWi ndow('http://www.google.com' , 'Google')"
value="Google">
</body>
<script language="JavaS cript">
function openWindow(adre ss,name, height, width) {
window.open(adr ess,name,"heigh t="+height+", width="+width);
}
</script>
</html>
------------

This is the most simple new-window script. But I discovered something:

In IE6:
When page is uploaded on webserver, script is opening one very small window
(c. 120x160) after the click on gooogle button. That is logical, as there
is no 'height' and 'width' values. But when I run this page from my desktop,
it opens one big c. 1024x768 window (my monitor resolution is 1280x1024).

Why is that?

Firefox opens the same size window in both cases (c. 900x1000). Netscape
opens identical windows too, just smaller (c. 120x130).

You're passing four arguments to a function that expects three,
and the syntax of the third argument is wrong (since the "height"
variable is not passed a value. It's not surprising that browsers
do unexpected things, or that they don't all do the same thing.

It should be <script type="text/javascript">

var WindowObjectRef erence = null;
// global variable declaration and initialisation
function openWindow(adre ss,name, height, width) {
window.open(adr ess,name,"heigh t="+height+", width="+width);


window.open(adr ess,name,"heigh t="+height+", width="+width);
-------------------------------------------^

There should not be any blank space in the 3rd parameter (windowFeatures
string list).

window.open(adr ess,name,'"heig ht='+height+', width='+width +'"');

sample :

window.open(adr ess,name,"toolb ar=no,scrollbar s=yes,resizable =yes,
height=550, width=850")

Guy


WindowObjectRef erence = window.open(adr ess, name,
"scrollbars=yes ,resizable=yes, height=550,widt h=850");

1- no blank space in the 3rd parameter, in the windowFeatures string list
2- With height=550,widt h=850 values, users with a 800x600 will have the
secondary window resize automatically in Mozilla-based browsers and in
MSIE 6 SP2 due to error correction mechanism ensuring that the whole
window is rendered in the available space of the screen.
3- Storing the return value of the window.open() call is often useful.

DOM:window.open ()

Hello, I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();

I did a ton of searching to try and find a simple solution to this issue and finally wrote my own, which I am sharing with everyone. In my searching, I did find a very complete and robust solution at http://weblogs.asp.net/asmith/archive/2003/09/15/27684.aspx but it was far more complex then I needed.

While reading c.l.j, I've noticed that some people prefer and indeed even recommend the use of "window.alert()" over "alert()". I can't find any technical reason to make this distinction, and seems to have a (tiny) amount overhead since window itself points to the global object, hence, a circular reference. (From everything I am reading, window is just a REFERENCE back to the global object, as opposed to a separate object.)
