Roger carpal tunnel Registered: 18/01/2000 Posts: 5682 Loc: London, UK	I've got a preferred size for my browser window (just large enough to view my links.xml file). Various sites force my browser window to full screen (as distinct from maximized). The worst offender is the configuration page for my router. I'd like to fix it, and the easiest option would seem to be putting some JScript on my home page to resize the window to something sane each time I start IE. Anyone got some simple code that'll do this? _________________________ -- roger

If I site opens a new window, and it's smaller than full screen, I make sure to close it first, and the full screen last. There must be a better way... I like the suggestion above.

There was one minor wrinkle: since my homepage is generated from XML using XSLT, I had to hack on the .xsl file, but otherwise it works fine. I might need to do something a bit cleverer to make sure that it works in browsers other than IE. _________________________ -- roger
