In your above code snippet, you're building a string called "winprops" that is used in the window.open() command.

That string is built from hard-coded strings and variables that are passed into the function.

When you call the NewWindow() function, you pass in the values:

NewWindow("www.tgreer.com","500","400","no")

would create a new window, 500x400, with no scrollbars, containing my website as content.

If you want it to NOT be resizable, you need to change the winprops string to:

winprops = 'height='+h+',width='+w+',top='+wint+',left='+winl+',scrollbars='+scroll+',resizable=no'

I would recommend you not do this. When you take away the ability for a user to do something they expect to be able to do (such as resize a window), it creates a "negative user experience".
