Auto Resize Website+Differe nt Browsers

1 New Member
Is there a way to auto resize the website, when using different browsers?

I was using this javascript earlier but i don't want to specify dimensions..... ...i would like it to automatically adjust according to the user's browser:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <script language="javascript"> { window.resizeTo( 850,725 ) }</script>
But unfortunately this only works for IE and I want the window to resize according to the browser in use, coz the dimensions change in other browsers and there are blank spaces or sumthing in other browsers like firefox, which are not in IE.

I'm using this for my coursework, on a website......an d desperately need to get it work.

So is there a way so that window adjusts its size depending on the browser being used?

It would be a gr8 help .........thnx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i found this coding as a result of sum searching:

javascript:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <script language="javascript"> function resize_window() { var width,height; if(typeof window.pageX){height = window.pageY;width = pageX;} else if(typeof window.screenX){height = window.screenY;width = screenX;} else {height=document.body.offsetHeight;width=document.body.offsetWidth;} } </script>
body tag:
[html]

<body onload="resize_ window()">[/html]
but again to no avail......any flaws in this piece of coding??

You should never have to resize a browser because of this problem. Though you say the page works in IE, it is IE causing the problem. But without a link, or the complete web page markup, we can't help.

From one of the online Javascript tutorials, I learned how to open a new window and set its size. I'm building a page that has several small photographs, and I want to let the viewer examine either a full size image or an image with supporting detail. It's the same idea used on lots of Web sites that show thumbnails where you click on one and the full-size image is displayed in a new window. However, I have different-sized images that will...

Hi all, I posted a question about a side navigation bar earlier where I was encountering this problem. I thought I'd repost the question in a more general format because I'm not sure people quite understood what I was asking in my last post. Here is what I'd like to do: 1. Have a div tag that's soul purpose is to display a repeating background image in the y-axis. 2. The div tag should also have a fixed width.

Hi - thanks for reading this out there! I'll be quick about it: I've got this row of images (in the end there will be more rows of pics as well). When a user clicks on the image, I want a new window to open with a larger version of the image. I want that new window to be customized to the size of the new larger image. Also, when users go back to see other images in their larger size, I want the new window (assuming they never closed...
