Error in "Preview" only

C

cookoonest

When I use the below script to ensure that new windows open maximized I get
an error in Preview. Running in browser locally and on the server works
fine. Also, if I click "Yes" or "No" on the error box the error goes away
and it continues on fine after that.

The reason I am using this is that I have a small popup window that is
onloaded from the index page when entering the site. When I link to another
page from the menu bar (after closing the popup) it comes up the same size
as the popup. The code below fixes this but causes a javascript error in
"preview" when I'm using Frontpage (2003).

The URL on the error message is "file://C:\Documents and Settings\My
Name\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir\pvw1.htm" and
it says "Access is denied" Code 0.

Maybe there is some way to return the screen size to maximized after the
popup is closed???

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would not advice using either. Opening a popup onload will fail in
most browsers because of popup blockers including IE SP2.
Trying to force the window to fill the screen will also fail in some
browsers and in a large proportion of the rest, the users will probably
get mad at you for messing with their preferred browser windowsize and
leave your site.

Re: Error in "Preview" onlyThanks for input Jens.

I am aware that some people have popups blocked, but others (like me) prefer
to not have all of them blocked or have not upgraded to SP2. The popups are
used for important announcements related to current events that have to to
with the website's subject.

I was under the impression that the code I am using does not alter the users
windowsize but only returns the display to "maximized". I am not that into
the coding so if you know this to be incorrect would appreciate knowing.

Thanks again,

Larry

"Returning" the display to maximised does not alter the screen
resolution, but does alter the window size for those users that do not
use a maximised window for the browser.
My screen resolution is 2560x1024 - I do *not* want a browser window
opened to that size! I normally use 800x600 for the browser.

Those users that do have SP2 installed will not see your important
announcements. If they are important, you should provide a prominent
clickable link for them.
FireFox users (20% of the browsers in use today are FireFox) also
blocks onload popups, whether or not WinXP SP2 is in use.
If you know that _none_ of your audience block popups, and never will,
then these comments can be ignored.

It sets the browser to fill the entire screen regardless of if they had
it set to that before and since most people with larger monitors usually
has it in a smaller window they wont take too kindly to having it
changed.

Re: Error in "Preview" onlyPoints well taken.

Will reconsider use of popups.

Thanks,
