Hi all,

I've been trying to figure out a script that will resize the content area of the window to a specific width and height when the page loads.

I've tried onload="resizeTo(750,450);" but that resizes the whole browser window... i need the size of the content area to be 750x450.

I'm pretty sure that you can use window.innerHeight and window.innerWidth to do the trick, but i can't seem to figure it out. anyone got suggestions?

Thanks

Well, I found out that innerHeight and innerWidth work only for Netscape...

Why not just place your content inside of a table that is 750x450 in size??

lol...

That's not quite what i was needing. I needed the page to open from a shortcut on the desktop, and it needed to open to where the content area in the browser window was of a specific height and width. Every solution i have found so far has been a "Netscape only" solution.
