How can I get the current windows size. I want to centre a windows when it displays, currently I developed the following method but I have to put the window size in myself, I want it to be able to retrieve the current windows size automatically.


<script language="JavaScript">
self.resizeTo(640,480)

xWidth = ( screen.availWidth - 640 ) / 2;
yHeight = ( screen.availHeight - 480 ) / 2;

self.moveTo(xWidth,yHeight)
</script>

how about this? works in IE3 and NS3

<html>
<head>
<title>Centered pop-up window</title>

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" type="text/Javascript">
function popUpCenteredWindow() {
var iMyWidth;
var iMyHeight;
//gets top and left positions based on user's resolution so hint window is centered.
iMyWidth = (window.screen.width/2) - (122 + 10); //half the screen width minus half the new window width (plus 5 pixel borders).
iMyHeight = (window.screen.height/2) - (27 + 50); //half the screen height minus half the new window height (plus title and status bars).
var win2 = window.open("","Window2","status,height=55,width=245,resizable=no,left=" + iMyWidth + ",top=" + iMyHeight + ",screenX=" + iMyWidth + ",screenY=" + iMyHeight + ",scrollbars=no");
win2.focus();
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body>
<A HREF="javascript:void(0);" onClick="popUpCenteredWindow();">open a new window centered on the screen regardless of user's resolution.
</A>

</body>
</html>

no problem, I'm just glad someone around here knows how to appreciate someone else's help and says thank you. I have answered a few posts and the guy doesn't respond with anything like thanks or that don't work. So I don't know if I am helping or not. maybe I'll just stop helping people that don't appreciate these forums.

Some people get mad when people do simple "thank you" posts because it adds to their post count when they didn't really answer a question. I don't really care though, because i am not answering questions for my health. I like to know when i helped someone, and i like to know when someone helped me. Who cares what the post count is!
