How do I prevent "fluid" resizing of windows?

When resizing winows (I have only encountered this on Wikipedia and youtube) the text or images adopt to the new size by sliding to new places. Is it possible to disable this "feature". It annoys me to insanity that each and every time you for some reason have to downgrade to a newer version of firefox you are forced to fight this "cool graphics" crap to get your browser to an acceptable state.

hello, this depends totally on the source code of the sites in question which might adapt the styling of the page to your window's size. this will be the same on all modern browsers & has nothing to do with any firefox updates.

How can i prevent the resizing of JOptionPane error message box? Urgent plz

i have an application which display error dialog box at many insatnces in the application.
I use JOptionPane.showMessageDialog to display the errors.
Now the problem is the error box is resizable. But i want to prevent the error box from resizing.
how can i achieve this?
thanx,
-Soni

i used the same code and i got it working correctly...
thanx a lot fot it...
now i have one more problem with it.
Actually i created a new class 'ErrorDialog' and the function showErrorDialog() inside it.
now i want the option YES_NO_OPTION and the function sayshowMsgDialog() returning int value indicating the option selected from the dialog box.
I tried it with following code
public
static
int
confirmDialog( String message_in, Component parent_in, String title_in,
int messageType_in )
try
JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane( message_in, messageType_in,
JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION );
JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog( parent_in, title_in );
dialog.setResizable( false );
dialog.show();
int optionType = -1;
try
optionType = ( ( Integer )( pane.getValue() ) ).intValue();
catch( Exception ee )
optionType = -1;
dialog.dispose();
return optionType;
catch( Exception e )
e.printStackTrace();
but, since return is after dispose() it is throwing an error 'missing return value'
can i get some kind of solution for this?
waiting eagerly...........

How do I prevent the "Save as" window that started popping up yesterday and just print articles without saving?

In years of printing articles I could always print without "saving as" first. Is there some setting I need to change or an add-on? I have firefox 3.6.13, Windows XP, HP PSC 2355

{Ctrl + P} or File > Print
Is your printer selected at the top in Printer - Name??
Is '''Print to File''' selected on the right, a little further down??

How can I prevent the open/save file confirmation window popup ? Mine is currently set for "always do this action" but I still get the popup.

Whenever I "export" a QIF file from my bank I get a File Action confirmation window popup. I have the correct application selected and I have it selected to "open" and "always do this action" but the popup always pops.
I have checked the applications tab and the correct application is selected.
How can I prevent the confirmation popup window please ?

Cheers for the reply.
I have deleted the rdf file but no difference. I still get the opening file box popup.
From the resetting download actions link. Both lines in the about:config are missing.
I have also tried switching the download option for the qif file to use a csr file but that also opens the confirmation box.
I pulled this from the rdf file
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:handler:text/x-qif"
NC:alwaysAsk="false"
NC:saveToDisk="false"
NC:useSystemDefault="false"
NC:handleInternal="false">
<NC:externalApplication RDF:resource="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:text/x-qif"/>
<NC:possibleApplication RDF:resource="urn:handler:local:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\msmoney.exe"/>
</RDF:Description>
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:scheme:webcal"

</RDF:Description>
<RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:externalApplication:text/x-qif"
NC:path="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Money\System\msmoney.exe"

Not sure if that helps.
Thanks again for the reply

[GIVEN UP]xmonad: How to prevent the resizing of floating clients?

Hi guys,
I was playing with xmonad. I am working on a laptop and at work I have a pretty large external display. My laptop screen is 1280x800 and my external screen is 1920x1200.
On workspace 8 I put my floating clients, skype, sonata ecc. I also use launchy to start new programs.
So what's the problem? When I put my workspace 8 on the big screen the clients display well and I don't have problems. But when I put workspace 8 on laptop screen all my floating clients are resized.
That's pretty annoying. It's worse with launchy. If I start launchy on big screen no problems. If I start it on laptop screen it is resized. What's strange is that if I start it again it is resized again. It keeps resizing the damn resized window. So after a while I have just a little small square on the screen.
Does someone know how to fix this thing? Is it possible to configure xmonad and make floating applications re-sizable only by me regardless the screen?

The problem is not having floating windows. I have that. The problem is that the floating windows are resized when I switch workspaces on smaller screen.
If I start launchy on smaller screen I see it resized. Then if I press esc and start it again is even smaller. After I have started launchy a bunch of times on the smaller screen it is resized so much that I cannot see it any more. That's really annoying.
I would like to have fixed size for floating windows, regardless screen size. The floating windows should be re-sizable only by me...when I wish it. The window manager shouldn't manage the floating windows size. Is this possibile?
Thank you for the suggestion. I tried with the xmonad.hs on the page you provided but the problem still persists. Maybe you don't notice this strange xmonad's behavior because your screens have similar resolutions.
My laptop is 1280x800 and my external screen is 1920x1200. Well, switching workspaces on laptop screen resizes floating windows. I would like to prevent this. Lurking on web didn't provided any useful information so far. That's why I'm bothering my lovely arch community.

I'm using "window.open()" to show one Calendar in a popup window. I can see that the popup is re-sizable. How can I prevent the user from re-sizing the popup?

You can't prevent users from resizing a pop-up.

How can I prevent sites from opening private windows?

Many websites, such as Moodle (classroom tool) and YouTube try to open certain new content, especially Google-hosted content, in private windows. In may cases, such as YouTube comment panes, there is now way to avoid this, and even if there is I forget sometimes.
Private windows clog up my Recent Windows history, which I depend on for things like keeping my webcomics organized, and cannot be merged into normal windows in order to prevent this. As a result, if I don't want to do a great deal of of tab reorganizing every day, I can't use any of these sites.
Please tell me how to either disable site-opened private windows, or close private windows without them appearing in my Recently Closed Windows list. Better yet, make the latter a permanent part of the browser; a private window that leaves no traces isn't much good when a snooper can simply reopen it.

I assume that you mean pop-up windows that might be left unnoticed when they are opened behind the current Firefox window.
You can modify the behavior and change these prefs to open all links in tabs:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow<br />1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
You can change the value of the browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction pref to 0 to open all JavaScript window.open() calls in a tab
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

How do I prevent a website from opening another window

A couple of websites I occasionally visit open up a second window to a spam website. I have put an entry in my Hosts file to prevent Firefox from connecting to the spam websites, so the second window is empty. However, it's still a little annoying.
I have pop-up blocking turned on. Is there anyway to completely block the opening of the second window?
If not, why not?

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I really do appreciate it.
Unfortunately, the link you posted tells me exactly nothing. My question is "How do I prevent a website from opening unwanted windows". These are full Firefox windows, just like you would get if you right clicked on a link and selected "open in a new window".
There are only two possible answers:
(A) To block unwanted windows, do this ________ (insert answer)
or
(B) It's not possible.
If the answer is (B) then the follow-up question is -- Why Not?

How do I prevent new windows?

Greetings,
When I go to thePirateBay.com, a new window opens. The website opens a new window using Javascript (window.open). I've tried opening the site in a Private Window but it doesn't help. How can I prevent new windows from opening?
Thanks,
Shane.

It's a new window (not a tab) that is fully maximized and contains an ad.
Let me know if you need anything else.

How do U resize a window in start up

Im making an applet that draws somehting and my drawing is bigger than my applet i want to only view it in a n applet viewer so how do i resize the window automaticly so at start up i get a big enough window to fit my drawing in.

try n add this in ur html file.
hope it helps.
An applets width and height properties are only available in Internet Explorer 4 - and then they are only read only.
The only possible way is to trap the resize event using the documents onResize event handler in Netscape Navigator 4 and Internet Explorer 4 to reload the page:
<HTML>
<body onResize="document.history.go(0)">
<applet width="100%" height="100%">
</applet>
</body>
</html>

How do I resize the window of pages in the new version? It takes up most of my desktop. I would like to make it tall and narrow, which was possible in the old pages, but I cannot seem to do it in the new version.

I agree it is a very bad and wasteful design especially for users on small laptop screens.
You can drag it to whatever shape you want from the bottom left corner.
Click on the paintbrush to make the Format side panel disappear. However you will need to use that side panel for most formatting.

Make it extend Frame or JFrame and you get all that for nothing.

Some webpages resize the window but when the window opens in a new tab, the entire firefox browser is resized. How do I stop this from happening?

This usually happens when the window is resized in order to fit the smaller content/intention for a webpage.
I would like Firefox to ignore the window resizing (down sizing) commands when opening a window in a new tab and just display the window in full size.

Go into ''Tools > Options > Content'' and next to where it says ''Enable JavaScript'', click ''Advanced...''' and then untick ''Move or resize existing windows''.
This is the only way to do it. I believe there is a bug filed to prevent all sites (by default) from resizing the window if there are more tabs open, but I don't think it has been fixed.
