Preserved Topic: centering pop ups... (Page 1 of 1)

*chris wanders into foreign territory*

Ok code peoples, I'm very out of my element so, um, help

I'm finishing up my portfolio site and have it launching into a pop up window. I got the following piece of code from someone on another board:

<!-- Begin
function NewWindow1() {
var page = "photoshow.html";
var NewWindow = null;
var winleft = ((screen.width-596)/2);
var wintop = ((screen.height-380)/2);
if(NewWindow)
{
NewWindow.close();
}
windowprops = 'height=1,width=1,top="wintop",left="winleft",scrollbars=no,toolbars=no,location=no'
+ 'statusbar=no,resizable=no,menubars=no fullscreen=1';
NewWindow=window.open(page, "PopUp", windowprops);
NewWindow.resizeTo(599,300);
NewWindow.moveBy(winleft, wintop);
if(javascript_version > 1.0)
{
//delay here because IE4 encounters errors
//when trying to focus a recently opened window
setTimeout('NewWindow.focus();',1000);
}
}
// End Script -->

I've configged this to size the window to 600x340 (my desired size) and removed the fullscreen=1 so the window isn't chromeless. However, two things are occurring:

1. in IE my window needs to be bigger to fit my content, the bottom is getting cut off. Looks like it needs to be about 600x370 to account for the top bar of the browser, is there a standard measurement for this?
2. it pops up a cute little 404x40 or window in Netscape

Any and all help appreciated, thanks.

Awesome, works great, thanks a bunch

Could I get someone out there to try this on their mac browsers and see how it works? I've got it working here in PC IE and Netscape 4.7.

InI, I'm sure there's a reason for this so I have to ask...

NewWindow.resizeTo(599,300); ?? Why not just open the window at that size ??

Doh, sorry, uploaded it to the actual page:
