Redirect with pre-sized pop-up code help
Please support our HTML and CSS advertiser: PostgreSQL or MySQL? Compare and contrast the two most popular open source databases

This is for work and I'm just not that good at coding.
The simple redirect code I know:
What I need is for the redirected page to be presized (width=800,height=564). I only know how to do it when a user pushed a button not on a redirect.
The problem is this is a webcast that they are putting on plasma screens so there will be no user interaction.
Using the hardware/software they are trying to use they just put a link in and it goes.
I am sure this is a simple thing.
Any help would be apreciated.
Thank you!

You cannot force a page to be a certain size.
The only way to resize a page is to control the window in which it appears, which you already know how to do "when a user pushed a button", meaning, using the window.open() method, I presume.
When you redirect, you aren't creating a new window. You lose control over the window. The new page owns it, so that page will need to contain its own resize code.

Thank you for the reply.
I was hoping there was something I could do.
I can't build a whole new page for these plasmas in time and my prebuilt (by my now deceased predecessor) webcast template isn't full screen. I can give them the direct link to the frameset but without controling the window size everything is distorted.
I thought a redirect may work but I guess not.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a quikish work around?

Perhaps I wasn't very clear: only the "current page" can resize and/or open a window. Once the web server redirects to a page, only THAT PAGE can resize its window.

You could open the page in a new window of the specified size and close the old window behind you.
It's not the best solution, but it will work in a pinch.

I'll give it a try Deacon. It's better then having to reprogram a whole new webcast template from scratch.
What would be the code for that?

Well crap...that only works in IE.
The latest Netscape and FireFox browsers won't let javascript close a window it did not open.

I guess I'm having a hard time picturing what you are trying to do?
How it the webcast accessed in the first place? By a link from another page? Through a frameset?
It seems like you should be able to contain it inside a div element and set the height and width using css.
Is this something I can look at on the Web to get an idea of what you are working with?
