Window width

Hi,

What I thought to be a fairly straight-forward project is turning out to be
ridiculous. I'm simply trying to determine the width and height of a browser
window in IE v.6.0, but to no avail. I'm finding conflicting information
regarding which window property I should be using, and in all cases I am
receiving an "undefined" result. Code is as follows:

function displayWidth(){
window.alert("W idth = " + window.outerWid th);
}

How can I determine the width and height of my browser window?

Thanks,
Grant.

Not possible in MSIE 4+. There is no equivalent to window.outerWid th in
MSIE 4+.

I'm new to ASP, but I've been programming in VB for several years, and I'm having a few issues with this ASP enhancement I'm working on. I've found ASP to be a lot different than what I'm use to in VB. I've created an ASP interface where a user can select an email group that populates a listbox with those email addresses. If a user sees an email in that list that they do not want then they can remove it by clinking the Delete button...

Hi, I want to open a popup-window which displays a list to the user.

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();

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
