Ok here is what I want to do. I have a work form and I need it to be a certain size when they click on the hyperlink. Do I put this with the hyperlink or on the page that is going to be opened? Thanks for the help, JF

Here is one good way to do it:

<a href="workform.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href, '','width='+screen.availWidth+', height='+screen.availHeight+', top=0, left=0');return false;">Work Form</a>

When I put that In it makes the window full screen even over the task bar. It also takes away the scroll bar on the side. I would like it to still have the scroll bar on the side and not cover up the task bar on the bottom. JF

That's odd, that is what screen.avail is for. This used to work for IE and still does for FF. It is still better in IE than just plain screen, just not better enough. To overcome this in IE, put this in the head of the page:

<script type="text/javascript">
var hAdjust=document.all? 27 : 0;
var wAdjust=document.all? 4 : 0;
</script>

To add back scrollbar(s) and take advantage of our new adjust variables:

<a href="workform.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href, '','width='+[screen.availWidth-wAdjust]+', height='+[screen.availHeight-hAdjust]+', top=0, left=0, scrollbars=yes');return false;">Work Form</a>

var wAdjust=document.all? 4 : 0;

A 4px wide scrollbar?
