Controlling the Size of a New Window

Home >> Javascript & CGI>> Controlling the Size of a New Window

You can use javascript to tell a window how to behave. Below you'll learn how to customize / re-size a new browser window when a user clicks on a link to the page.

This tutorial does not show you how to create a new pop up ad/ window when a page loads. It shows you how to control the size and location of a window when a user clicks on a link from one page to go to another.

Here's the basic code you will use to link to the new page / window that you will be customizing:

Here are the variables you can change in the code.

Variable	Value	Behavior
height	number	Height of the new window (in pixels)
width	number	Width of the new window (in pixels)
linkname	text	Name of Link
scrollbars	yes/no	Controls whether horizontal or vertical scrollbars are shown
