    Default Page size

    hi,
    IM looking for some help as how to change the page size. I would like the page to open at a certian size which the viewer cant change.
    EG if you click at the top right of the page so your page isnt maxamized id like to make it my own custom size.
    Also it will be hyperlinked to via an image.

    Bad idea. Let the users control their own viewport. If your page will fit in a reasonably sized viewport, the users will adjust theirs (if need be) to view it. If not, no amount of control over window size exerted on the design end will fix it.

    it will only display one picture so its not a whole page as such. Its so that they do not have to leave the site. If you go onto a website sometimes it has an enlarge image button and the page is only as big as the image. Thats what i am trying to get at.
    Cheers

    I see. You can control the size of a pop up window but, that brings with it all sorts of potential problems like blocking and screen sizes that may be totally out of the range expected. You are better off with something like lightbox then. It cannot be blocked by pop up blockers, degrades well for non-javascript enabled browsers, as well as allowing the user to easily scroll the image into view if need be..
