javascript window.open() problem

rinze_cats · 09-05-2003, 04:38 AM

Hiya, I have a problem I can't solve, figured you guys might be able to help!

I will describe what I am trying to achieve, and the problem with my current sollution. Any other suggestions are MORE then welcome.

I need to open a window, fullscreen, and reposition it to a new location. The reason is that I need two fullscreen browsers on a dual screen machine.

On my computer, it works to
1. open a fullscreen window: (code something like this, might not be optimized cause I have been experimenting... a lot)
newwin = window.open("http://www.google.nl,"_blank","Width=1280,Height=1024, titlebar=no, location=no,
resizable=no,channelmode=no, directories=no, status=no, scrollbars=0, fullscreen=yes");
2. move the new window
newwin.moveTo(900, 0); or newwin.moveBy(900, 0);
both work, a window is displayed with no borders or whatsoever, starting at position x-pos 900 and y-pos 0)

However, somehow my pc seems to be the only pc I can get this to work. I have not yet run IE sp 1, my current version is 6.0.2600.0000

I have examined scripts like chromeless (if anyone is familiar with this script), which has the same problem, cause it just opens a fullscreen window and moves it. (after resizing if one wiches)

I really really need a solution for this!!! I think this is a bug in ie6 sp1, can anyone think of a sollution or workaround?

Hiya, well the following page, for instance, uses a javascript to
1. create a fullscreen page browser window (no-borders whatsoever)
2. resize the browser window to a certain width and height.

on my pc, this works fine. On other pc's the window is displayed over the entire screen. It is not supposed to do that! I didn't write the code on the page, but the problem is the same!

(open the link on this page to open the window)
