Browser window resize on entering website

Hi. I'm quite new to DW so apologies if this is simple to do.
I've developed a website in flash, kind of a console 900x500 pixels
and housed it in an html page using dreamweaver. i'm trying to set
it up so the browser window will resize to 900x500 when loading the
page. I know how to do this in DW for a popup window but is there
some javascript that will do this automatically as the main page
loads? I've tried a few scripts i found on google but its not
working. I'm testing in firefox and safari and am looking for a
script or method that would also work in IE. The console doesn't
look good on a large background so any help would be appreciated,
Thanks guys, Dren.

Essentially it can't be done. Modern browsers prevent it.
Usability data
strongly suggests visitors hate it. Controlling the visitor's
browser size
is considered arrogant. I suggest you rethink your design
strategy as this
is probably a losing battle on many fronts.

Browser window resize event

Newbie question - sorry. How do I capture the browser window
resize event?
I've tried variations on this code:-
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import flash.events.Event;
function mylisten():void { trace('mylisten');
this.stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE,resizefn);
function resizefn():void {
trace('resize!');
]]>
</mx:Script>

Hi brutfood,
you can add a handler to the resize event of the application
as an attribute of the Application tag.
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" resize="resizeHandler()">
Then add the handler ("t" is TextArea):
private function resizeHandler():void {
t.text = stage.width + " - " + stage.height;
t.text += "\n" + stage.stageWidth + " - " +
stage.stageHeight;
Note the difference between the width/height and
stageWidth/stageHeight properties: the first couple returns the
actual stage dimension while the second returns the visible area of
the stage.
regards,
Christophe

Movie Clip / Browser Window Resize?

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way that you could make a
single movie clip in your .swf react to the current width of the
browser window, when its loaded.
I would like to use this specific piece of code to
dynamically center an "enter" button on a website.
Thank you in advance

If you set the properties of your .swf to 100% width and
height your movie will automatically fill the browser regardless of
resolution. Note if your using a colored background for your web
page you will see white striping down each side of your movie. just
set the param for bgcolor to what ever you need it to be

Browser Window Size when entering a web page

I am Looking for a script that would load a web page in a
specific browser window size with no scroll upon people entering
the page. I've looked all over and only could find pop up window
scripts. I would like to have a specific browser window size from
START of entry to my web page. Thank you for your help in
advance.

> I would like to have a specific

While you might like that, nearly all of your site visitors
will NOT like
that.
Fortunately, most browsers today have listened to those
complaints and have
disabled the resizing and removing of chrome from windows
that are already
open/created.
As such, if you want to attempt to control the browser
windows, then you
have to use a pop-up link.

How do I get the little messages to show up again in my browser window telling me a website wants to reload or forward my page, do I allow?

As I surf from website to website, up at the top of the browser window (but before the toolbar) a little notice was showing up asking me if I wanted to allow the website to redirect (forward) my page. It would also tell me that a webpage wanted to reload. There was a little "allow" button at the top left and also at the top left there was a little "x". I accidentally clicked that "x" and it hid that little notice thingy. I can't figure out how to get it back. I'm brand new to Firefox so please forgive my ignorance on this. Btw, Firefox is awesome. ;-)

* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox > Preferences] > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

Refreshing problem on browser window resizing

Hi
I know this problem is quite common and a lot of people tried to solve this. So meybe someone could give me some info how to make an applet to be properly shown after browser resizing? Now it looks awfull, the part with buttons and textfields seems to be repainted correctly but sometimes is covered by Image object that is supposed to be in one place - but seems to travel around the page during resizing and moving browser window from one side of the screen to the another.
Can anybody help me, please?

The way I personally do this is to set the entire page into one large Table, with a width of 100%.
If you are already using tables within your code, then you need to be sure you don't have any large width= values set. Also, if your site has fancy graphics, you need to find somewhere on the page to allow some 'stretching' of those graphics.
Here's a quick example of a page that will automatically adjust based on screen size (remember, just because they are viewing at 1280 x 1024 resolution doesn't automatically mean that their browser is maximized.. it could be reduced/resized on their screen to smaller dimensions - this code will fix that)
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%">
<tr><td bgcolor="black"><font color="white"><b>This could be a navigation area<Br>Just putting it here for demonstration</b></font></td>
<td width="100%" bgcolor="silver"><font color="black"><b>This could be the main area, and since it has a width of 100% it will stretch horizontally based on how much actual screen space is available on the viewers browser window</b></font></td>
<td align="right"><font color="navy">This is a right column, and since it is set to 'align=right' it will allow the center column to strech back and forth</font></td></tr></table>
By experimenting with setting the width= attribute on different columns, you can get different results. Just remember to set the main table width at 100%, and be sure t have at least one TD that has a width of 100% and you should be good to go

Open browser window resizing problem

I want to have a small browser window open on top of my main
browser page. The open browser window behavior sizing is not
working. The window remains in the default size. So I added this
java script to the page I want to be smaller
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2">
self.resizeTo(400,600);
</SCRIPT>
This did make the window size small, but when returning to
the main browser window that window is now the same small size as
the smaller window.
Now what.
thanks, cyndee

Add a ... ;return false ... to the end of the
MM_openBrWindow() event
call as in the example below... Make sure you place a
semicolon between the
end of the event call and the return false.
<span class="link"><a
href="Gourd%20Purchasing%20Policies.html"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('Gourd%20Purchasing%20Policies.html','gourdpurchasingpo
licies','width=560,height=770');return false">Purchasing
Policies</a></span><br>

Fluxbox browser window resize

When I go to a site that opens an image in a new window, then resizes that window to fit the image, fluxbox is resizing the window so the title bar is outside of the workspace. This means I can not close, move, maximize or minimize the window without first holding down the Alt key and dragging it down some.
Anyone know how to keep Fluxbox from resizing a window outside of the actual workspace?
If it matters, this behaviour is not happening in Gnome.

dp wrote:
this is not a fluxbox problem, but a bad webmaster :-)
i would suggest you to use a browser that can override javascript from resizing windows larger than the screen (i use konqueror and all new windows open in new tags and are not allowed to resize the master window)
EDIT: ion does not allow windows to be bigger than the screen
Well this problem does not happen with Mozilla in either GNOME or KDE, but does happen with Mozilla in Fluxbox. This would suggest to me that Fluxbox is handling the popup differently than other window managers.
I looked at the HTML and it seems to me that the webmaster is simply telling the browser to open a new window and passing along a size with no window placement information. Mozilla is then opening up the window with the titlebar off the screen. I would say it is Mozilla's problem except Fluxbox is the only window manager I have that is exhibiting the problem.
Here is an extremely simple page that exhibits this problem:
http://www.sitepoint.com/examples/jscri … picfit.htm
The window is first opened correctly in the top left corner. The the Javascript resizes the window and the titlebar goes off the top. Again, this does not happen in GNOME or KDE, so my original questions remains. Is it possible to get Fluxbox to behave like GNOME and KDE and not run a portion of the window off the page?

Resizing Browser Window

Hi,
I'm looking to publish my site and have the browser window
resize (or stay resized at) the document size (1000x674).
I thought i set the proper parameters in DW (i have a SWF
inside of it), but there seems to be extra white space on the right
side of the published document...(this seems to be outside of the
1000x674 default size)
i may be missing a line of code somewhere.
any help would be appreciated...you can see what i mean at
www.tunnel76.com
thank you in advance.
j.

Why not just center the page content? Users tend to get
annoyed when the
browser gets adjusted without their consent.

SAFARI BROWSER WINDOW DISAPPEARED

The browser window on the Safari website disappeared. How can I recover it?

Glad I could help. Thanks for the Aloha from Big Island.
iMac G5 Rev C 20" 2.5gb RAM 250 gb HD/iBook G4 1.33 ghz 1.5gb RAM 40 gb HD Mac OS X (10.4.8) LaCie 160gb d2 HD Canon i960 printer

I cannot move, resize, minimize, or close the browser window despite everything inside the window still working.

I don't know what details are needed so I'll just rattle off anything that I can think of.
I am running an Asus laptop with windows 7. I have never had an issue with firefox in the past (beyond the usual freezing and some obvious issues with pop up ads that are par for the course with firefox since adblocker never does what it says.... not really. Lets be honest.) I am using Avast for my virus protection and it is also up to date.
My issue started about an hour ago when firefox stopped responding. The video I had playing kept going but I could not interact with anything. Assuming the program froze for the billionth time that week I rebooted it. This has always solved freezing issues in the past. Now, however, firefox is doing something new.
I can access the menus and almost everything on the window itself except for the minimize/maximize/close buttons, I cannot move the window at all, and I cannot manually resize it. I have also noticed that although videos will play, I can only click on their buttons if there is another smaller window overtop of firefox. The video controls will only appear that way and when I click them firefox naturally comes to the front and the video responds with the button I used but the buttons are gone again and I cannot resume playing without the smaller window back in front to make the buttons show again.
It's as if half of firefox is frozen while the other half is still running somehow.
I have no themes that could be causing this. Literally none. I only use firefox for the things that can no longer be opened in Opera so I have no need for any theme beyond default. The only addons I installed on purpose were adblockers (lord knows why. they don't DO anything.) though several other random things seem to have been installed over time to aid in one thing or another. Various plugins and players and versions of java, that sort of thing. But I have everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) in the addon menu disabled.
I have tried booting it up in safe mode (the program, not windows) and the problem is still there except now it won't show the menu bar at all unless I press the alt key first and even then it wont let me actually click on anything in the menu bar. When I try the whole bar vanishes. I had to close firefox with the task manager.
Rebooting will fix the issue for about 15 seconds before it all comes back.
Any attempts at updating have failed as it says I am already up to date on everything so I don't know what its issue is.
It's not an urgent issue right now as most of what i need to do can be done on the half screen window I am using, but some of my sites have buttons that literally vanish in anything but full screen and I imagine that this will be a much greater annoyance within a few days.

After following all the instructions given, I poked around safe websites as suggested. I am not sure why this step was needed, as websites functioned rather normally before I came here but I did it anyways and found that the websites still work the same as they did. I can still do everything I used to be able to do. I see no change in the function of the websites.
However, I still cannot resize, close, or move the browser window. I don't know if Netflix is a safe site or not (too many conflicting opinions on that one from the masses) so I don't know if the issue with the vanishing buttons is still there, but all the issues I had with the browser window itself is still there.
Even in safe mode the browsers three window control buttons on the top right refuse to let me use them and the window itself will refuse to be moved around.

Today the website addressed in my browser window changed so that the site's home addresses are in black and the rest of the address are in grey. How do I change it back?

Just go to iCloud on your iPad. Click on delete account - this will delete the account on your iPad only. You will be given to keep the addresses and calendar or delete the data.
Then you create your new account on you iPad by entering your apple id.

Resizing a new browser window

I am a reasonably new user of Dreamweaver CS3. I have worked
out how to use '_blank' to open a new browser window, but can
someone please help me work out how to resize that new window and
remove the navigation bars etc. I know there is the "Behaviours"
section where it lets you do this, but using this feature removes
the little hand when the mouse hovers over the image in my website.
I am reasonably new to this, so any help would be very much
appreciated.
Thank you.

If I understand, you are asking if this will get around Popup
Blocking
of onload events? No it will not. The onload event is, by its
nature,
an unsolicited event, and Popup blockers are designed to
prevent
precisely that.

How do I make my website fit in all size browser windows?

Hi there,
I should start off by saying that I am very new to web design, and have very limited knowledge of CSS and HTML. I understand what they are and the nature of what they do, I'm just not code savvy.
Now that that's out of the way, I've been designing/attempting to build a website using Dreamweaver. I have all of the components and layout that I want designed and ready to go, but I desperately need help with translating that into Dreamweaver. I've been researching information all over the web, but with one person suggesting one thing and another suggesting something completely different I'm afraid my brain is about to melt.
Here's what I've done so far:
Because I want everything fully customized and to use a less common font style, I saved everything from the graphics, photos, and links as .png files. I then inserted each of those images into an AP Div Tag in Dreamweaver and arranged them appropriately. That's absolutely all I've done. It works great, except I have no idea how to configure everything so the site layout shows up centered in any size browser window, instead of sitting awkwardly in the corner.
Here's a link to what currently exists: http://ikikatawares.com
I've read dozens of articles and forum responses about building tables, but I'd like to avoid that since to me they seem clunky and kind of a hassle to deal with. Can anyone please help me? Thanks.
Beth

You need to put only the bold part into your code.
Immediately after your starting <body> tag add in
<div id="wrapper">
and immediately before your ending </body> tag add in
</div>
Then at the end of your css, you currently have...
#apDiv10 .navBarLinks .navBarLinks {
font-weight: bold;
Change that to...
#apDiv10 .navBarLinks .navBarLinks {
font-weight: bold;
#wrapper {
     position:relative;
     width:1005px;
     margin:0 auto;

Open another website in a new browser window

I can't seem to create links to external websites that open
as intended in a new browser window while leaving the main browser
window unchanged. Except in Safari on a Mac. See sample code.
In Safari on a Mac this opens the new window and behaves as I
want. In Safari on a PC it opens a new window, but in back. In
Firefox on Mac I get an error message in which, when the "OK"
button is cliked on, a new window opens in back of the main window.
Same thing on a PC. Internet Explorer on a PC opens a new window
but displays an error message forcing you to clik the back button
to return to the main page.
If I specify the main page url in the link field, then the
main page gets reset to the top, which I don't want.
How can I get FireFox and IE to accomplish this gracefully?
To observe behavior go to
http://www.digifon.com/framesetal_id.htm

Don't use Frames. However, the issue of opening a new window
is still
hotly debated. My own approach is to mark the link with an
icon and
then to open a new window (or tab if the user prefers). If
done
properly with javascript, this will not spawn a myriad of
windows and
Standards-compliant. (And further, if javascript is off, the
new page
will simply open in the current window.)
Based on this philosophy, I offer a DW Extension that makes
adding this
behavior dead simple. Here is an example of a page that uses
it to good
advantage. Despite all the external links and pdf links on
the page,
the Extension only needed to be added once to the page,
rather than
adding it to each and every link. Links added to the page
AFTER the
Extension is applied are ALSO acted on, a great time saver in
my
opinion, and easy on the user:
