Hello,
I am trying to open a window with a graphic in it and have the window
be exactly the correct size of the image. Is there anyway to do this
that will work on any browser on any OS????
No.
Very little (comparitvely speaking) works on every browser and any OS.
Mozilla-based browsers, including NN6+ and Firefox, allow a user to turn
off the resizing of windows. Thank goodness. Because Mozilla users love
to use tabbed browsing, your resizing the window would resize all the
other tabs. Which sucks. A lot. I have resizing turned off for precisely
this reason.
Opera, which also uses tabbed browsing, might have a similar option.
You can try to open a new window and resize, but it's never guaranteed.
Heck, you can't guarantee your users even have script-enabled browsers
or that they have scripting enabled on their script-enabled browsers.
Yes, text-based browsers are still in use, though not overly common.
Disabled (often visually-impaired) users also have special browsers that
might not even have the option to resize.
Note that people who use tabbed browsers often have links set to open in
a new tab, not a new window. It is also pretty common for them to have
unrequested popups blocked. [1]
[1] discussions about this on various sites I visit have led me to these
conclusions. YMMV.
