Hey guys. I was wondering how I can make a site come up and not take up the full screen. For example pop up adds have these different sizes. How can I achieve this with HTML? I know I'm a newbie X-( thanks though guys.<!--content-->you can only do this through popups, do a forum search, plenty of threads on how to do this, one recently.<br />

<!--content-->If you are trying to do this with a popup, do like leoo said, and do a quick search here. If you are trying to make your main page load to be a different size, add this to the body tag:<br />
<br />
onLoad="resizeTo(640,480);"<br />
<br />
<br />
The 640 in that example is the width of the screen, and the 480 is the height<!--content-->Aaron, you can't resize the users default window. they have to make the window with javascript first to resize.<br />
<br />
besides if I was to go to a site and they made my brwoser smaller then it would make me mad enough to never return to that site.<!--content-->Scoutt...First off, I agree. I DO NOT recommend re-sizing a users main browser, but you CAN do it. A friend of mine made a flash site that opened popup style windows, but he didn't know how to set the size of the popup in flash, so we found that code. I didn't test it in too many browsers, but it WILL work (at least in IE, and FireBird). Point your browser to <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.blackmollymusic.com/mess.htm">http://www.blackmollymusic.com/mess.htm</a><!-- m --> and keep in mind that this is not meant to browse to directly, but is used as a popup.<!--content-->unless something has changed in javascipt, it says<br />
After a window is open, you cannot use JavaScript to change the windowFeatures. and part of the window features is the size.<!--content-->There's quite a bit of JavaScript that you can do after a window loads. Stuff like resizing, moving, etc. You can make a window shake (move left&Right, or Up&Down), scroll up/down/left/right, etc. Look at some of the stuff you can do here:<br />

<!--content-->That code you gave me resizes it but it's just shrunk down and you can scroll around on it, I don't want this. Any ideas?<!--content-->then adjust these values<br />

onLoad="resizeTo(640,480);"<br />
<br />
or you will have to make a popup to take away the srollbars.<!--content-->
