Detecting browser minimize?

Is it possible to detect if the user minimizes the browser-window?

I do some polling, and want to stop it while the window in minimized,
but not when it only is blurred...

TIA...

Give up now before it gives you too many grey hairs :) You can't detect
minimizing.

<body onMinimize="max imize()">

There is no event that fires when the browser window is being minimized
but at least Mozilla/Firefox changes
window.outerWid th
window.outerHei ght
when the window is minimized.
For instance here with Firefox 1.5 on Windows XP a minimized browser
window the browser reports the dimensions as
outerWidth: 160
outerHeight: 31
So your polling code could check for such a low outerHeight and stop
polling as long as the outerHeight is lower than a certain limit.

But note that I have not checked on other platforms, nor with other
browsers.

I've written an app that starts and monitors a number of processes. If one of those processes dies, the app restarts it.

Basicly, I start the app, then minimize, maximize, show, or hide it based on the option chosen. My problem comes with the actual app I'm monitoring. It...

I wandering about the common proctice of some UA's producers to spoof the UA string to pretend to be another browser (most often IE). Shouldn't it be considered as a trademark violation of the relevant name owner? If I make a whisky and call it "Jack Daniels", I most probably will have some serious legal problems. "Mozilla" partially appeared because NCSA stopped them from using "Mosaic" in the UA string. Is it some different...

I'm trying to print some text in a very specific position on a page, so that it will show through the window of an envelope when folded. This is easy to do, as long as the browser's print margins are set to 0, or I subtract the width of the margins from the position of the text. My question is: is there a technique for detecting browser print margins? It'd be nice not to have to warn users to set them to something specific.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
