specifying web browser window size
Can this be done? Need to open html file in web browser (easy enough) but need the browser window to be a specific size. Can this be done through lingo? Or even is this something I can be adjusting paramaters in Dreamweaver when I create the html file?
Thanking in advance!

You would need to do that with java-scripting written into your html

You can specify window size, scrollbars, resize-able, titlebar, etc...

only way to call that from Lingo is like this:
gotoNetPage( "javascript:void( window.open( 'mypage.html', 'popuptarget',
'width=300,height=200' ) );" )
I don't use DreamWeaver myself, but you should be able to get it to make a
popup for you with the correct parameters, then you can copy the parameters
for window.open from that (the last string is the complicated one, I've only
included the width and height parameters for illustration, but there are a
lot more possible options).
Note that this isn't strictly the correct way to call JavaScript, so you may
find that it doesn't work in every browser. However, there is no other
alternative from Shockwave. You should also bear in mind that if the user
has javascript disabled (about 10% of users) then absolutely nothing will
happen.

Yes, you can add this when you create the html file:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
window.resizeTo(320,320);
-->
</script>
Just put it in the <head>..</head> section.

couple of things to watch though:
Firstly, you can't change the window style like you can with window.open
(removing menus, etc.). Also, any other windows that are opened from then on
will also be that size (if you are using IE, anyway). Personally, I find
that *extremely* annoying (as do a lot of other people, especially if they
can't figure out how to rectify it). Finally, you can't later decide to
close the popup with the javascript "window.close()" without a security
warning being shown (you can if the window was opened with window.open).
However, it does get around the problems associated with window.open that I
mentioned in my other post.
