Using HTML to force web page to open maximized

[NetworkGeezer]

Is there any way that a webpage can be coded to start maximiised or at some other predetrmined size?

 

TIA

You'll need to use a bit of Javascript. Have a look at this one on DynamicDrive, or try one of the others.

I use this. It opens a page in fullerscreen with no toolbars. I only use it on the intranet to pop up the Internet Policy for the kiddies to read. It doesnt work properly with firefox though.

 

window.open("page_to_open.htm","fs","fullscreen=yes")

window.onload = function() {

window.moveTo(0, 0);

window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth, screen.availHeight);

}

I'd never do this... one thing I hate is a website that fiddles with my browser window size.

I control my browser not the website designer. If I choose to have scroll bars that's my choice.

Only thing worse than changing my browser size are sounds or music playing automatically. :twisted:

PaulBM - it depends what the use of the site is. If it is a MOTD page or a terms notice then you'd want to do this, but I agree about the internet in general.

Good point, but we all know that kids never read MotD's anyway.
