force maximised window?

[Geoff Cox]

Hello,

Can I use JavaScript to force a maximised window ?
Thanks

[bobzimuta]

i haven't tried this, but maybe:

window.resizeTo (window.screen. availWidth, window.screen.a vailHeight);

or possibly

window.resizeTo (window.screen. width, window.screen.h eight);

If anything, check out the window and screen objects

Stewart,

I accept that this would not normally be a good idea but I would be
using it for a small number of people for whom it might improve the
situation.

The reason for perhaps using it is that I have a slider with a
pointer. If the user starts with a minimised window and then maximises
it, the pointer image stays where it is and is thus in the wrong
position for the maximised window...

Cheers

Geoff

this does the trick - thanks,

move the image when the window is resized.

Those *tips* are very small minded. What if the web designer has absolute
control over the users browsing environment ? Perhaps the *site* is an
intranet and all desktops have the same settings. I think the whole article
is a little out of date !!

Zoe,

Not sure what you mean re "move the image" ?

I had thought that perhaps I need to "refresh" the page if the user
resizes the window as that does put the pointer image back in the
right place.

How do I detect a change in size and then force a refresh?

Cheers

I really hate it when a web developer thinks that just because we're
on the same intranet, that I must have the same size monitor and the
same browser settings. Some of us have larger monitors than the web
developers, because it's required for our jobs. Some have large fonts
because they don't see well.

Nobody should ever assume that they have absolute control over the
users browsing environment.
