    Is it possible to have a regular html page have its size defined?, for example you type in www.homepage.com and the index page is a popup window with no background or foreground windows appearing, is there a piece of code you can put in the html page itself that makes it standalone and not referiing to
    another page? I kinow this is a strange way of doing things but it would take too long to explain why I need this.

    Cheers

    Thank god homepages.com didnt hurt me like you said it would.

    If you would like to hurt people you could throw this in: 
    <body onLoad=" resizeTo(800,600);">

    just a note ... a lot of people are like me with regards to this ... I don't want my browser being ****ed around with ... you go resizing my page I'll be resizing it right back up again or just plain killing the page ...

    I'm usually running a number of tabs so you resizing the browser window is seriously gonna piss me off as you're affecting other tabs besizes your own ... just a thought .. make sure you know your target audience won't mind this ...

    I hate it too. Just don't use it. It's poor design and very porn-site-ish.

    I agree with all the stuff thats just been said but alas when your client thinks that they know everything and want you to make a semi popup regardless of the useability issues well I've warned them anyway, as long as they pay me.
    I've tried the first script which works but it seems to make the page I launch a window from resize too, is there a workaround for this?

    then what exactly do you need? That script resizes a window when the page is loaded - isnt that what you wanted?

    sounds like you just want a standard popup window ... but you've described something else ?
