open new window

Hi I found this info :

"JavaScript Does Windows... With the 4.0 versions (and later) of NetScape and Internet Explorer browsers, we can also, through JavaScript, specify the location on the screen that the window opens. These dimensions are given in pixels, measured horizontally and vertically down from the top left corner of the screen. Older web browsers will just ignore these options.

Unfortunately, NetScape and Internet Explorer use different names for these options! So to make it work on both browsers, you must specify the settings twice:

1. screenX=hh,screenY=yy

specifies the location of the upper left corner of the window, measured from the top left corner of the monitor (for NetScape 4.0 and later)

2. left=hh,top=yy

specifies the location of the upper left corner of the window, measured from the top left corner of the monitor (for Internet Explorer 4.0 and later)

Adding on to our earlier example, this code will tell 4.0 version web browsers to place the window 100 pixels over and 75 pixels down from the top left corner of the viewer's screen:

I have provided a sneak peek of

<a href="myimage.gif"

onClick="window.open('myimage.gif', 'myWin',

'status, width=300, height=200, screenX=100,screenY=75,left=100,top=75');

return false">my image</a> for you to see.
