Hey!

I’m looking for a script that can resize the browser window! For example: I got a script that opens a new window, in the new window I would like to have a few buttons, that when you press the window would be resized! …Like it fades to another size!

Button\>JavaScript\>Resize window, eh? is this your request? Well, take a look at the following:

```php
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function resize() {
window.resizeTo(740, 580);  
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<input type=button onclick=resize()>

```

Try the following:

Insert this into your HTML:

```php
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function resize(x, y) {
window.resizeTo(x, y);  
}
</SCRIPT>

```

And the actionscript involved is:

[\*PHP]x = 500;  
y = 500;  
getURL(“javascript:resizeTo(”+x+","+y+");");

```auto

h88 8]
```

hey… i havent dealt with javascript (yet:P)… but if loops work the samy way the do on any other languages, you might be able to make a loop that resizes the window gradually using this code…

```php
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function resize() {
window.resizeTo(740, 580);  
}
</SCRIPT>

```

\*\*

if theres a function that gets the current window size, then you can subtract the new size off the current size and divide that into lets say 10 and store it into a variable, and loop the resizeTo() function 10 times, where it subtracts the number in that variable…  
again, this is just an assumption… im into javascript really=)
