Resize image when opeing a page

hello, I was wondering how to resize the window my site is in when a user goes it it. Like, make it as big as I need and make it unresizeable and without toolbars ect. I know how to do it with a popup. But no idea here :S

Thanks!

search here and kirupa.com for chromeless and/or borderless windows. also searh fullsize and resize to find the answers you are looking for. In other words, these questions have been asked before. :slight_smile: Do some research, make an attempt, then come back and ask questions about the parts you don’t understand.

:hr:

But please… don’t do that? It’s really very annoying.

You mean the fullsize thing? Yeah, I agree - nothing worse when I’m trying to be discreet at work to have a full size window explode on my monitor and not allow me to resize it. I close them immediately. :-/

Yeah, exactly. I’d rather the designer let me resize the page if I want it to look good. I don’t like it when my perfectly sized window gets maximized. :frowning:

6

no I dont want full size… I just want my window about 650px x 500px when you open it. :smiley: I HATE FULLSIZE

But either way, you’re resizing it. Personally, I resize my windows so that they’re all perfectly tiled on the screen and I can see everything at once. On Windows, there’s no automatic way to do that. So when someone resizes my browser window to 1024x768 or 650x500 or whatever, I have to do it all over again. Sure, it only takes a minute or so, but I can guarantee I’ll leave the site and never come back.

so you think resizing windows = bad? if the site does it auto and stuff… yea that is a problem though with having to resize it back and all… - Are there alternatives?

9

Well yeah personally I think it’s bad… but I really don’t know any alternatives, other than designing your site to work in most common sizes… You could always put it in a popup and just make a splash page that links to it or something.

Yea, thats another thought im having… adding a splash page

I don’t understand why you can’t just have a splash screen… and either on click it opens a pop up window or on entering the page it makes a pop up. Which you can restrict weither there is a scrollbar, status, resize… etc.
