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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

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>

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.

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.

How do I stop text from resizing to the size of the browser window

Hello there,
I am using a DW CS3 template that has a sidebar div and a
main content div - the text in the main content div keeps resizing
to the size of the browser window - I don't want the text to resize
if I make the browser window smaller - I want it to remain the
same. I am trying to float the text right and input a width but
this is not working for me. What am I doing wrong?
HELP!
Many thanks!

>>What am I doing wrong?
Not giving us a link to the uploaded page so we can see the
page, how it
behaves and the actual code.
Until we see that you are unlikely to get a definitive
answer. The problem
is unlikely as you state it because text itself is never
dependant on the
browser viewport size.

How do I easily resize firefox browser window in Vista?

I need to resize browser window so I can see a part of my desktop.

Thanks for your ongoing help. (And if this winds up being a duplicate post, my apologies in advance.)
I typed about:synch-log into the address bar and got an exclamation point inside a triangle next to a boldfaced message that reads "The address isn't valid."
Below that, in a box:
The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded
Then a line then two bullet points
* Web address are usually written like http://www.example.com
* Make sure that you're using forward slashes (i.e. /)

How can you stop slideshow from resizing the browser window iframe ?

Does anyone know where the code is that causes the iweb slideshow to resize the browser window when it is opened?
When it is placed on a page using <iframe src="http://homepage.mac.com/coreydee/slideshow/index.html" width="760" height="580" scrolling="no" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe> It resizes the browser window when it starts.

The iWeb .Mac slideshow, which you previously tried to add in an iframe, does have a function to resize the window. But it would not cause the whole window to resize, just page within the iframe so you would never know.
However, the autoviewer one you are using should not do this.

Regarding resizing of browser window

Hi,
I am working on getting my UI to resize accordingly if the user resizes their browser window on the desktop. I know how it is done using css and using javascript, but what I want to know is if there is any SAPUI5 specific functionality to support this. Specifically I wanted to know if individual UI components could detect size changes so I could implement some different logic in their case. I have so far not been able to find any such functionality. If anyone can share info regarding this it would be great.
Thanks

Hi Adarsh,
you said: Specifically I wanted to know if individual UI components could detect size changes so I could implement some different logic in their case.
No, that's not possible. The only way to detect and handle the resize of the screen with JavaScript is via window object:
window.onresize = function(event) {
// your code

Itunes browser window won't resize to enable license agreement for ipod

Hi,
hope someone can help me I am new to itunes and just purchased an ipod classic.Every thing is fine except I can't resize the itunes browser window to be able to read and accept the license agreement to be able to use my ipod.
The document seems too large for the browser window.I know there must be an accept button to click on to agree to the terms,but it is not visible.I can read the agreement of terms.But I can only see the cancel and save buttons on left at the bottom of screen.There is no sliding bar to access the right hand side of the page/doc/browser window.
I've tried looking in preferences,itunes help doc. and stretching the window using the mouse, to no avail.
Thanks for your time.
Any help would be appreciated.

Resizing cflayout based on browser window

How can I base the cflayout on the browser window's visible area? Every time I resize the window my controls are being displayed off screen with no scroll bars to get to them. Ideally I'd like the layout to be dynamic enough to resize gracefully without needing the scroll bars. Thanks
