New window size?

krissy_b · Sep 14, 2003

I have a hyperlink to a Swish animation (it's like Flash) that I want to open up in a new window. I want the new window to be the size of the animation. Is there a way of specifying the size of the new window in FrontPage, or does anyone know the html coding?

Thanks!!!!

You would have to use javaScript to do this. Put the following function anywhere on your page, I'd suggest the top.

Code:

<script>
function win(){  
    <!--
thWin = window.open('filename.html','newWindow','width=400,height=400,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,status=no');
//-->
}
</script>

You can change any of the parameters such as width, height, menubar etc to what ever you want.

Then use this code for your link,

Code:

 <a href="javascript:win()">**Link goes here**</a>

Hope this helps!!

Thanks for the help!!! But I should have been more specific. There are actually going to be three links to three different swish animations on this page....how can I specify the size of each new (and differently sized) window?

I think I understand you, if I do you can use the same code with a few changes to it.

Code:

<script>
function win(w, h, name){  
    <!--
thWin = window.open([name]+'.html','newWindow','width='+[w]+',height='+[h]+',resizable= no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,status=no');
//-->
}
</script>

Now do your links to the differnet files as follows,

Code:

<a href="javascript:win(200, 20, 'swishOne.html')">**Link one goes here**</a> 

<a href="javascript:win(20, 300, 'swishTwo.html')">**Link two goes here**</a> 

<a href="javascript:win(200, 200, 'swishThree.html')">**Link three goes here**</a>

All you have to do is change the width and height and file name parameters in the function call and the link names.

This will work as long as I have understood you right this time.

Hmmm...I'm pretty sure you did understand me right, but it didn't work.

It gave me an error message every time I clicked on the page, and the links themselves didn't work right.

I may have done something wrong in incorporating the code into my page, but I'm 99% sure i did it right. Also, I forgot to mention (but it shouldn't make a difference) that the links are images. I just put them where you said "Link-whatever goes here".

Ok I thin I know what the problem is. I think when you are copying and pasting the code into your page there are extra spaces being added. Right do this, cop this code into your page anywhere.

<script>
function win(w, h, name){



}
</script>

The following part of the functions code must contain no spaces and all be on one line.

thWin = window.open([name]+'.html','newWindow','width='+[w]+',height='+[h]+',resizable= no,scrollbars=no,menubar=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,status=no');

Then the link just stays the same except your using an image but that wont make any difference.

Let me know if you have any problems.
