Resize safari window question

Every time i open safari i have to drag the window over to the left so i can see the scroll bar and then i have to resize the window to fit the screen. How can i fix it so the window is always centered and fills the screen whenever i open safari?

You're misunderstanding this. The "Resize to Full Screen" text is a Bookmarklet; you click and drag it to your Bookmark Bar in Safari, then click on it from there to resize your screen. But apparently those don't work in the forums, so here's the raw code:
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
Create a new Bookmark (copy one if you need to just to get the necessary fields in Safari without creating a folder), copy/paste that code for the Location or URL field, then place it on your Bookmark Bar.

  • Cannot resize safari window

    i can't resize the safari window by hovering over the bottom right corner of the window. I am working on a Macbook Pro and Yosemite.
    thanks!

    When you hover over the corner do you not see the cursor change to a slanted heavy line with arrows at each end? Do you then click down and then resize the window?

    You should rather make the site fit the browser window.

    Resizing the browser window is considered _very_ rude, if it
    will work
    at all - modern browser prevent such abuse of JavaScript.
    You should more concentrate on the content and the usability
    of the site
    to attract visitors. Keeping the layout flexible is usually
    the best way
    to go. But even if it has to be a fixed-width layout, you
    shouldn't mess
    with the user's browser settings, but for example center the
    entire site
    in the browser. Solutions for that are posted here every
    second day.

  • Javascript Bookmark to resize Safari Windows

    Despite searching all over, I could not easily find how to keep Safari from opening new windows that were just a bit off on the left or the right sides of the screen. I had read tips about making a new window, resizing it and then closing it. Sure enough, the next new window would open with that size and position. But open a 2nd new window and Safari would position it a little bit to the right, thus leaving the scroll bars slightly off the right side of the screen.
    So I tried to find a javascript to solve this problem. Nothing did exactly what I wanted, so I have customized what I found and the following works for me:
    Step 1) Save any webpage as a bookmark to the Bookmarks Bar (Click "Bookmarks" then "Add Bookmark...", OR Click Apple-D, then choose "Bookmarks Bar", "Add").
    Step 2) Open "Bookmarks" "Show All Bookmarks", then choose "Bookmarks Bar" on the left under "COLLECTIONS".
    Step 3) Find the bookmark you added in Step 1 and change the Bookmark's name to "Resize Window to Fill screen" or whatever you want (click once on the name and after a delay click a second time, then type).
    Step 4) Change the bookmark's address to "javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(1440,screen.availHeight);" (click once on the bookmark's address and after a delay click a second time, then type or copy and paste what is inside the quotation marks above).
    Step 5) In any window, click Apple-1 and the window will resize!
    Note: I have a 17" iMac. For different size screens, just play around with the number "1440" in the javascript above. Make it larger or smaller until it is the exact size you want. Also, if you add new bookmarks to the Bookmarks bar, it may change the keyboard shortcut number for this "Resize Window" bookmark. You can always drag to reorder the bookmarks. The top ones will have keyboard shortcuts "Apple-1", "Apple-2", etc.
    Hope this helps someone else!

    This helped me, and thanks again!!

  • Safari window not resizing

    I am running Safari 5.1.9 on OS X 10.6.8.  For the last few days, Safari windows always open at exactly the same size, and there is nothing I can do to resize them.
    The resize button in the bottom right corner doesn't respond.  The green maximise button on the top left doesn't do anything.
    I have tried:
    * restarting
    * forcing Safari to open links in a new window
    * emptying Safari's cache
    * resetting Safari
    * trashing Safari's preferences
    * turning off all plugins
    * trashing com.apple.windowserver.plist
    * starting Safari in 32-bit mode
    * beating my head slowly against the screen
    This seems to be a problem only with one user.  When I switch to another user, Safari behaves itself very well.
    My system software is up to date.
    Any ideas?

    Try deleting the cache this way. Might make a difference.
    In the effected account, open a Finder window. From the menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type of copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari and try resizing the window.

  • How do I set Safari to automatically resize new window when opening a link?

    Here is the scenario. I have one Safari window open, I click a link that is on that page, I have Safari set to open a new window (not a new tab) so that is what it does. It opens a new window from that link, but the new window is too small. It is about 1/4 the size of a window that fills up the screen. How do I set up Safari so that when I open a link in a window, it automatically resizes the new window to fill the screen?
    Thanks much,
    Paula Jo

    Hi Paula Jo
    Next time a new window automatically opens, resize it to the desired size by dragging the lower right corner. Then, click on the red button in the upper left to close it.
    Now, select a link in your existing browser window to open the 2nd window. It ought to be the same size as what was set previously.
    Let me know if that works.

  • Safari Window Set to Full Screen

    Hi I have a quick question about Safari Windows.
    I recently selected a browser window and dragged my mouse to the menu bar. My macbook automatically resized the browser to make it full screen.
    I can't get this to work anymore. Any suggestions?
    I know the keyboard shortcut, and want to see how to restore or set this new option.
    Thanks!

    Full screen arrows in up right corner.
    or Safari>View>Full Screen
    or short cut keys control commnd F  which works in most Mac apps

  • Resizing Safari to full screen

    Is there any way to resize safari to full screen? I have tried with the Green + icon in upper left of window but it resizes itself very little. I have tried to find the answer on support page without luck, as a matter of fact, I am new to MAC after being a pc user for years. I love my MAC except for the documentation and lack of support for questions about everyday usage.

    Just from using this for the first time its evident that I will get more information here. I have been to MAC 101 and gettting started websites. There is definitely a lack of manual support for MAC compared to PC. There is a place on the website that you can download manuels but the one for leopard keeps saying that I have reached the wrong site and redirecting me to the previous page. I like knowing more about the how to's than they cover on the getting to know Mac os page
    Of course you should use whatever method works best for you...
    But just to point it out, the Mac 101 pages specifically mentions - within two clicks of the front page - how to resize a window (screenshot). (And I am very unfamiliar with the Mac 101 site and just clicked quickly through to see if it that information was readily discoverable.) I think those pages probably do a lot more than any standard manual, in terms of walking you through how to use the Mac OS and how it is different from Windows, and also in terms of readily finding little tidbits just by following the links and quickly skimming the categories.
    But again, use whatever resources you find the most functional. The forums are definitely a great way to get quick answers to simple "how to" questions like this one.
    I have a feeling some of your difficulties finding information are simply due to being in a different world from the one you're used to. In my experience, as a Mac user first and a Windows user only later and by necessity, I have found it much easier to get answers to Mac questions and I've never found Windows help resources to be the least bit easy to find or simple to use.
    What Leopard manual were you trying to download? Do you have the link?

  • Safari window to full screen.

    Yes, a simple user question. How to get my Safari window to full screen?

    Drag window's upper left-hand corner to the screen's upper left-hand corner, click and drag bottom right-hand corner resize triangle, and drag to the screen's lower right-hand corner. Why anyone would want to do that is beyond me, but that's it. AFAIK, there's no command shortcut that does it.

  • How do you have 2 Safari windows open and show both pages simultaneously on the monitor

    How do you keep open 2 Safari windows and show both pages on monitor?

    While in Safari with your first window open go to the File menu and select New Window. That will open the second window on which you can navigate to your second web page. Resize both windows to fit on your display.

  • How to run a safari window in the background at all times?

    Ok, so you are probably wondering why I want to do this. Allow me to explain. The website twitch.tv is a streaming service for gamers, and there is a browser plugin specifically for the site called betterttv.
    One feature of this plugin is that you will get a notification whenever someone you are following starts broadcasting, right in your notification center. But because its a browser plugin, and is specifically for this one website, it requires a safari window to be open with the website twitch.tv in order to push the notifications.
    So my question is... how can I make a browser window stay open at all times and run in the background with this website open so that I get my notifications? I had the idea that I could retain the window even when I "quit" safari, because I can run a seperate instance of it in the form of Webkit Nightly which isnt affected by safari not being running.
    But I am still oblivious as to how I would set up a window like this, and it has to start at login in addition to being running throughout the day. (I shut my Mac off at night.) Any amount of help would be appricated

    I'm well aware of how to minimize thanks, and it *is* possible to have a Safari window open if you quit it, because you can run it as a separate instance by using WebKit Nightly...
    I am just looking for the best way to set it up so that a WebKit Nightly window will open upon startup, navigate to that webpage, and hide itself. Preferably in the background. This could be done using a .command file or a startup script in automator. My question is.. What is the best direction to take?

  • How can I turn off Recently Websites when opening new Safari window? After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed.

    How can I turn off Recently Visited Websites when opening new Safari window?
    After tapping on the two overlapping boxes on the bottom right of Safari, a new blank window appears with Favorites, but now in iOS 8, recently viewed websites are listed. How can I turn this function off? I do NOT want my new Safari windows to have history displayed of previous websites I visited. I only want my Favorites (on the top) to be displayed. Please help.
    Thank you for your time, patience, understanding, kindness, and concern.

    Thanks for replying, but that isn't the answer I am looking for.  Also, there is no + sign, UNLESS you do tap the overlapping boxes.
    Let me try to ask my question a little more clearly:
    When I tap the two overlapping boxes on the lower left (the option to Open New Windows), the new Window that appears will show your Bookmarked FAVORITES. But with my new iPhone 6, and the new iOS 8.0.2, when I tap the two boxes to open a New Window, my Bookmark Favorites show (as they always have and should), but below them, there is a dividing line underneath them, and it says Recently Viewed Websites, and has these websites available to tap.
    So my question is, HOW DO I TURN THESE OPTION OFF?
    *UPDATE  (10.13.14): Since I have asked this question, I no longer see these Recently Viewed Websites under my Bookmarked Favorites in my new Window tabs. So I hope that Apple fixed it, or somehow it was a mistake, or somehow I changed an Option on my iPhone 6 that stopped this for reoccurring.
    Thank you for your help bobseufert! I appreciate your concern, kindness, and the time to try to help. I am grateful.
    Have a blessed day.

  • Stop "Open in Dashboard" widget from opening new Safari window when viewed

    Hi,
    For the first time, tried Safari's "open in dashboard" to make a widget showing an area of a webpage that updates information frequently.
    It worked, but now whenever the Dashboard is viewed, something in the code opens up a new Safari window, even starting up Safari first if need be. (Because of the url, I suspect some javascript is trying to set a third-party tracking cookie.) Safari preferences don't appear to matter.
    Any way to prevent this?  2010 iMac/10.6.5/Safari 5.0.3.
    Thanks.

  • Safari window won't fill the 24" imac screen - accidentally did something

    I accidentally did something and now the screen is more 8x10. Using the +/- buttons do not resize to full screen. I am running 10.4.11. Any ideas?

    The "+" and "-" buttons aren't for resizing a window; they're for resizing text on the page. If you want to be able to "maximize" your browser window, try this:
    Create a new bookmark (doesn't matter what site or page you use for that)
    Choose Show All Bookmarks from the Bookmarks menu and locate that new bookmark.
    Highlight the name of the bookmark and change it to "Full" or "Full Screen" or something similar.
    Highlight the URL of the bookmark and change it to this:
    javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
    Then restart Safari and try it out; it should work flawlessly.

  • How to make screenshot/jpg/pdf of ENTIRE long Safari window (not just visible part)?

    I want to get a "screenshot" (i.e. an image in any format -- PNG, JPG, PDF, whatever) of a looooooooong Safari window diplaying a Web page that entends far below the bottom of the visible screen area and has to be scrolled down to see all of it.
    I know about the standard screenshot keyboard tricks in 10.6 -- Command-shift-4, Command-shift-4 then spacebar/click, Command-shift-3, etc. But not any of them allow the user to get a screen shot of the entirety of a long/deep window -- they only capture what is visible on the screen.
    Also, another trick people often mention is to "print" (command-P) the Safari page, but instead of sending it to a printer choose "Save as PDF." Brilliant -- except that for some reason I've never been able to "print" a Safari page -- as soon as I hit the command-P keystrokes in Safari, I immediately get a spinning beachball that will only go a way with a force-quit of Safari. This has always been true on this computer (MacBook Pro) -- not sure if it's a common bug or if it's just an eccentricity of my particular machine. Either way, that option is off the table because "printing" is impossible with my Safari.
    I also searched around for various third-party freeware applications, and despite a lot of grandiose promises, none of them actually was able to capture an entire window including portions not currently visible on the screen.
    I did find a commercial application called SnapWeb that does have the capability to do exactly what I want -- but it doesn't produce usable images in demo mode and requires $$$ to unlock and work properly, something I'm currently unwilling to pay for a simple one-use gimmick that simply must be part of the OS already.
    So my question is:
    Is there any native way within the 10.6 OS that allows users to capture an entire long Safari window as an image file (not as a Web Archive, but as an image file composed of pixels), which includes the entirety of a Web page no matter how "long" it is, even if it extends far below the visible screen footprint?
    And if there is no native way in 10.6, if there a freeware/shareware application/widget/plugin/whatever which does the same thing?
    I already know about a commercial software that does it (SnapWeb), so I don't need more recommendations for paid apps. And I know that I can laboriously construct a JPEG by hand with Photoshop by taking a screenshot of the visible window, scrolling down a little, taking another screenshot, etc. etc., and then
    "stitching" them together. Yeah, it's possible (and in fact is what I've done in the past), but it's a time-consuming hassle that shouldn't be necessary.
    Help! I've wondered about how to do this for years, and have never yet found a satisfactory answer.

    Woo-hoo!
    After fiddling with Paparazzi! for another 40 minutes, I finally deciphered (through trial-and-error) how to maneuver through its awkward user-interface to an extent that I was finally able to make it "work" -- at least work sufficiently for my purposes. And lo and behold, it does indeed have the capacity to capture a screenshot of an entire long Web page, including the portion not visible on the screen. In fact my first attempt was to experiment with this very page of our thread on Apple "Discussions" about how to solve this problem -- and I got Paparazzi! to save it as a jpeg!! The whole thread, top to bottom, exactly as on the screen, not re-formatted for printing. The final file size was 985 pixels wide by 4,204 pixels long (1.2mb).
    I have since experimented with a couple other pages and had success with them as well.
    HOWEVER, I can't guarantee that Paparazzi! will work with every page on the Web, because I think one of the problems when I first attempted to use it was that the page I was trying to get a screenshot of contained a lot of Flash elements and other data-heavy widgets, and I think those messed up Paparazzi!'s memory or overwhelmed it or something. But perhaps such huge and problematic pages are rare enough to not be much of an issue using Paparazzi! under normal circumstances.
    So, I'll consider this problem "solved," and give user "jsd2" a "This helped me" star, since even though I already had Paparazzi! he encouraged me to revisit it.
    And for the record to help those who might stumble on this thread in the future seeking a solution to the same problem:
    The freeware program to get is called "Paparazzi!" and is available directly on the developers site here:
    http://derailer.org/paparazzi/
    Also, note that the current version only works with 10.6.8 or later, but if you have a previous version of the Mac OS, the developer helpfully maintains an archive of older releases that work with older OS versions -- you can access the old (and new) versions here:
    http://derailer.org/paparazzi/downloads
    It's also available for free download on various popular third-party sites, like:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15966/paparazzi!
    Be warned that Paparazzi! does not have a very intuitive user interface, nor a user manual, so be patient with it and you should be able to figure out how to make it work.
    If you want another application that also does the trick and which has a simpler and better user experience, but you don't mind paying money to buy it, you can purchase and download "SnapWeb" on its developer's site here:
    http://www.tribalmedia.com/bts/snapweb/snapweb.html
    And if anybody seeing this in the future knows whether or not there is a native way to capture entire Web pages built in to 10.6, please post the info here. Thanks!
