[WEB4LIB] HTML Question - target="new"

[Chan, Ian]

There is a way to control the new window size using javascript.
The links to the Annotated Directories and Web Search Engines on this page
use javascript to control the newly opened windows.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] HTML Question - target="new"



I am using the <a href=> tag with the target="new" attribute to bring up
a new window for a link.  In Netscape Navigator, the new window is full
size; in Internet Explorer, it is sized down so you can see the first
window behind it.  Is there a way in HTML to control this window
sizing?  Specifically, I would like the new window to appear as it does
in IE, so that the first window is still visible.

Thanks in advance for your advice,
Maribeth
