Controlling the size of the window when link is clicked
Here is a quick overview that will show you how to control the size of the window that opens using javascript. There are other ways to do this, but this is a fairly simple and quick method.
In this piece of code you can change the variables:
- height - must be a number - determines the height, in pixels, of the new window
- width - must be a number - determins the width, in pixels, of the new window
- linkname - must be text - name of the link
- scrollbars - yes or no - controls placement of horizontal or vertical scrollbars
That’s it! Use that code and you will make a window open in a smaller window - not a pop up! So you should have no problem with pop up blockers.
