How do you open a new browser window maximised?

[isuru]

I know that when you want to open a new window in Javascript you can use the window.open command. That way you can either open a new window full screen or the height and width that you choose.

But it it possible to open a new window that is maximised?

also is if you specify the width and the height of a new window, is it possible to specify the screen location where that window appears?

Hi isuru,

I am not sure about Maximizing the window (although I would imagine it's possible), however, yes, you can specify, down to the last pixel I believe, where the window ought to popup.

Check out that thread: there's some code there for a popup window in the form of a function, where, when a link is clicked, a popup is loaded 50 pixels from the top, and 50 pixels from the left of the screen - those numbers can, of course, be changed to show up anywhere on the screen.

Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot TWTCommish, the link was very helpful

To have a window that's maximized, you can try using this:

window.open('somepage.hmtml','','top=0,left=0,screenY=0,screenX=0,width='+screen.width+',height='+screen.height);

and you could use other window.open() attributes.
